EV lotus notes shortucut migration to Exchange shortcuts

Dear All,

We are migrating our mailing system from IBM Lotus to MS Exchange and we have already implemented Ev for Domino. We need to convert or migrate the exsiting EV lotus notes shortcuts to the outlook shortcuts so that uses can access their old mails in outlook.

 

Thanks in advance.

Regrads,

MontoN.

  • Just one additional comment about Step 3 in that technote

    3. Migrate the user's mailbox from Domino to Exchange
    This is not a function of Enterprise Vault. A third-party utility will be required

    As you would subsequently need to use the EVDominoExchangeMigration utility in Step 5 to post-process migrated shortcuts, Step 3 should really say that you need Binary Tree or Quest to perform the actual mail migration as these are the only two third party utilties that are capable of migrating across the necessary EV properties for our post processing tool to successfully fix-up these migrated shortcuts in Step 5

    Regards

  • Dear All,

    Thanks you for your replies. We are using third party tool for migration of mail file. Only concern was migration of shortcut from old mail system to new and I think addition to above link the below link could also be a additional help.

    Please suggest.

    With regards,

  • as stated in the (updated) technote that i originally posted to answer your question:

    EVDominoExchangeMigration has been tested with Enterprise Vault shortcuts that had been migrated with the following: Binary Tree CMT Universalâ„¢ 2.7 (also known as CMT for Exchangeâ„¢) and Quest Notes Migrator for Exchange from Quest Software.

    You can use a different migration tool, but you must ensure that the tool correctly maps the Enterprise Vault Notes document properties to the corresponding Enterprise Vault Exchange named properties.

       

     

  • Thanks you all for your help. I was busy with some other work. The were able to migrate shortcuts using EV migration utility provided by Symantec.

     

    Thanks,
