XFOR: Notes Dirsync Does Not Catch All Changes While Using Mapping Rules (249878)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 SP3

This article was previously published under Q249878

SYMPTOMS

When you modify the Mapnotes.tbl file to send custom attributes in Exchange Server to the Lotus Notes "children" field, the data may not be replicated over if the user already exists in Notes. You must first delete the Exchange Server user from the Notes Address Book and perform a full reload from Exchange Server to Notes to successfully force the data to replicate over to Notes.

CAUSE

During directory synchronization (dirsync) from Exchange Server to Notes, if a new field appears in the mapping rules that were previously non-existent in Notes, the Notes entry is not updated at all. This requires a full reload from Exchange Server to Notes to successfully force the data to replicate over to Notes.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Exchange Server 5.5. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
