Unfortunately my company was recently purchased by another who is 100%
Lotus Notes. They plan to make all US sites in the organization to have
the same email domain name, ie [EMAIL PROTECTED]
mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] . There will be a central server that
accepts and forwards to the other location sites own Domino servers via
encrypted VPN tunnels. They have informed us that my companies' three
sites must convert from Exchange to the Lotus Domino servers to fit into
their structure. I would like to keep my current Exchange server and
use it to receive and send to the central Domino server (for cost
reasons and the fact I know zero about the Lotus product). I am just
getting started on some reading on the Lotus connector for Exchange and
synchronizing the two servers. So far it looks possible to connect for
mail transfer and synchronize address books. My question is has anyone
out there tried this? Please help keep an Exchange admin from learning
Lotus.

RE: Lotus Notes Take Over
Michael, we use the Lotus Notes connector (Exchange 5.5 to Notes 4 / 5) and have done for some time, it is far from perfect - but it does the job we ask of it - most of the time We run a Notes server locally - purely for show - and forward all our mail to there to get it into the Notes system used by the rest of RSA Group. We have problems with it falling over periodically - and the guys who support our notes server recommend re-booting it once a week because of a known memory leak!!! (and our CEO wants everyone on Notes ASAP - go figure...) The reboots tend not to happen - we like to prove the point (Exchange stays up - so Notes should - if it's enterprise ready) .. but this does mean that occasionally we loose connectivity - it's easy enough to sort - reboot notes and restart the connectivity processes in Exchange. Not perfect - but it gently reminds our local managers that Notes isn't really all that good - plus have you _seen_ the GUI?? (God-awful Unusable Incapable. ;-) The address books are shared and the mail flows most of the time... if you must interact with notes then it's the best way forward Just my £0.02 HTH Jack -Original Message- From: Michael David [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 07 February 2002 14:56 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Lotus Notes Take Over THIS MESSAGE ORIGINATED ON THE INTERNET - Please read the detailed disclaimer below. -- Unfortunately my company was recently purchased by another who is 100% Lotus Notes.
