SYMPTOMS

When you migrate users from other e-mail systems (such as Lotus cc:Mail or Lotus Notes) to Exchange Server by using the Exchange Server Migration Wizard, the following error messages may be logged in Windows NT application event log:

Event Type: Error

Event ID: 8074
Description:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: MSExchangeMig
Event ID: 8124
Description:
Parser Error C:\Misc\Temp\TestMig\Notes.002\00000001.PRI Line: 4
Bad section encountered. The remainder of this section will be skipped.

Event Type: Error
Event Source: MSExchangeMig
Event ID: 8002
Description:
Errors occurred during the Migration Process. A recovery file has been created called C:\TEMP\00000012.PRI.

MORE INFORMATION

This problem can occur if you use the two-step migration process and, during the first step, you click to clear the Information to create mailboxes check box. If you do this, the second step of the two-step migration process does not work unless you already have an existing mailbox or custom recipient for the users in the Exchange Directory that you want to migrate.

To ensure that you have an entry in the Exchange Server directory before migration, either manually create a mailbox for the user or create a custom recipient by using the directory synchronization process. Alternatively, allow the migration process to create a mailbox by clicking to select the Information to create mailboxes check box.
