SYMPTOMS
After you configure the Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 Connector for Lotus Notes to connect to a Lotus Domino R5/R6 messaging system, you experience the following symptoms.

When users whose mailboxes are located on a particular Exchange server create meeting requests for a resource that is located in a Lotus Domino resource reservation database, those users receive confirmation messages as expected. However, users who have their mailboxes located on a different Exchange server do not receive confirmation messages when they submit requests for the same resource.

Therefore, certain Exchange Server users cannot confirm whether the booking request for the Lotus Domino resource was accepted or whether it was rejected.

You experience this problem with users who have their mailboxes located on an Exchange server that is not running the Exchange 2003 Connector for Lotus Notes.
