SYMPTOMS
When you migrate users and meetings from Novell GroupWise to Microsoft Exchange Server, no meeting attendees are migrated. The missing attendees may include user accounts and other resource accounts that were successfully migrated to Exchange Server.



CAUSE
When users and meetings are migrated from GroupWise to Exchange Server, the GroupWise source extractor is used to copy the desired information from the GroupWise post office to migration files. The Migration Wizard is then used to import the migration files to Exchange Server. Meeting attendees are not included in the migration files. Therefore, they are not migrated to Exchange Server when you import the migration files.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server version 5.5. This problem has been corrected in the latest U.S. Service Pack for Microsoft Exchange Server version 5.5. For information about obtaining the Service Pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):

MORE INFORMATION
The GroupWise source extractor migrates calendar information by creating a Schedule+ Interchange (.sc2) file for each user. Each .sc2 file contains the information from that user's calendar. When the Migration Wizard is used to import the migration files to Exchange Server, a Calendar Attachments folder is created in the user's Inbox folder. This new folder contains a message for each meeting that has been accepted. If a meeting contains an attachment, the attachment is included with the associated message in the Calendar Attachments folder. In addition, a message is created in the Inbox folder for each meeting that has not been accepted.

When you apply the fix described in this article, the attendees that are listed on the To, From, Cc, and Bcc lines in the GroupWise meeting appear in the associated message in the Calendar Attachments or Inbox folder. Users and resources are both included and are listed separately. All invited users and resources are listed, even if they did not accept the meeting. Text indicating that some of the attendees that are listed may not have accepted the meeting is also included in the message.
