SYMPTOMS

When you use the Exchange Server Migration Wizard (Mailmig.exe) to migrate IBM Lotus Notes mailboxes to Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack 1, the Exchange Server Migration Wizard may not correctly migrate the e-mail message information. For example, Exchange 2003 may incorrectly label some of the e-mail messages that you migrate as messages that were sent by a delegate. When you view the .pri file, the Sent-Representing field is unexpectedly populated.

CAUSE

This problem may occur when the following conditions are true:

  • You migrate IBM Lotus Notes mailboxes by using the Exchange Server Migration Wizard.
  • The IBM Lotus Notes mailboxes contain e-mail messages that have two or more IBM Lotus Notes domains in the e-mail address, such as UserA/NotesSrv1@NotesDomain1@NotesDomain2.

This problem occurs because the Exchange Server Migration Wizard does not remove the IBM Lotus Notes routing information.

After you install the hotfix

After you install this hotfix, you must create a Windows registry subkey and entry. To do this, follow these steps. Warning If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

  1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
  2. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Exchange

  3. Right-click Exchange, point to New, click Key, type MSExchangeMailMig, and then press ENTER.
  4. Right-click MSExchangeMailMig, point to New, click Multi-String Value, type RoutableDomains, and then press ENTER.
  5. Right-click RoutableDomains, and then click Modify. In the Value data box, type the domain names of the domains that are in the IBM Lotus Notes e-mail address.

    For example, an IBM Lotus Notes e-mail address of UserA/NotesSrv1@NotesDomain1@NotesDomain2, would have the following data:

    NotesDomain1
    NotesDomain2

    Note Separate the domain names by pressing ENTER.
  6. Quit Registry Editor.
