SYMPTOMS
On the Advanced tab in the Microsoft Exchange Connector for Lotus Notes properties, there is an option to run Notes database maintenance. By default, Notes database maintenance runs at 1:00 A.M. If you select this option, you can change the time at which maintenance is run.

If you disable this option, the compaction of the Exchange.box database on the Lotus Notes server occurs at the default time: 1:00 A.M. No indication that Notes maintenance has started is logged in either the Browser logs or the Microsoft Windows NT Event Viewer application event log.



CAUSE
This issue can occur because the Exchange Notes Connector that is included with Exchange Server 5.5 is based on the Lotus Notes connector that LinkAge produces. The LinkAge version of the connector is hard-coded to run the Exchange.box database compaction at 1:00 A.M. Microsoft added a user interface (UI) to modify the time at which Notes database maintenance is run, which includes database compaction. However, this modification did not add the capability to disable database compaction.
