CAUSE

This issue may occur when there is information in the Exchconn.ini file that is not correct.

RESOLUTION

To work around this issue, correct the information in the Exchconn.ini file. To do this, follow these steps.
  1. Start a text editor, such as Notepad, and then open the Exchconn.ini file.

    The Exchconn.ini file is located in the following folder, where Drive is the hard disk drive that Exchange Server 5.5 is installed on:

    Drive:\Exchsrvr\Connect\Exchconn

    Important Before you make any changes to the Exchconn.ini file, make a copy of the file for backup purposes.
  2. The information in the CONTROL section of the Exchconn.ini file must appear as follows:

    [CONTROL]
    title = Microsoft Exchange Connectivity Controller (Command-Line)
    rootdir = Drive:\Exchsrvr\Connect\Exchconn


    If the information is not similar, replace it with this text.
  3. The information in the LME section of the Exchconn.ini file must appear as follows, where Organization is your organization name, SiteName is the name of your Exchange site, and ExchangeServerName is the name of your Exchange server:

    [LME]
    ORG=Organization
    SITE=SiteName
    SERVER=ExchangeServerName

    If the information is not similar, replace it with this text.
  4. Verify that the LME-NOTES section has the correct Lotus Notes foreign domain information.
  5. Save the Exchconn.ini file, and then quit Notepad.
  6. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.

    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.
  7. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeCoCo

  8. Verify that the following value appears in the ImagePath entry:

    Drive:\ EXCHSRVR\Connect\Exchconn\lscntrl.exe -cexchconn.ini -nCONTROL-SERVICE -pCONTROL-SERVICE -lDrive:\EXCHSRVR\Connect\Exchconn -vMSExchangeCoCo

    If the value does not appear, modify it. To do this, click ImagePath, click Modify on the Edit menu, type that value in the Value data box, and then click OK.

    Note The data type for the ImagePath value is REG_EXPAND_SZ.
  9. Stop and then restart the Exchange Connectivity Controller.
  10. Stop and then restart the Exchange Connector for Lotus Notes.
