SYMPTOMS
If you set up the filter rule in the [LME-NOTES-DXANOTES] section as follows:
FILTER_X = X,EQ,[formatted string]
The Microsoft Exchange Connector for Lotus Notes may extract the filter rule incorrectly, and during directory synchronization (dirsync) the incorrect users are synchronized to the Exchange Server directory if the [formatted string] variable contains "," (without the quotation marks), for example:
filter_person = CompanyName, EQ, Ministry of Economic Development, Trade and Tourism
The Exchange Connector for Lotus Notes synchronizes all of the entries to the Exchange Server directory as if the user's CompanyName is "Ministry of Economic Development" instead of "Ministry of Economic Development, Trade and Tourism."
CAUSE
The Exchange Connector for Lotus Notes uses "," (without the quotation marks) as a delimiter when it parses the filter rule.
