hi,
I will next migrate about 2000 people from exchange to Notes 8.01. I am now in test phase and I have a question about contacts synchronisation : when a mail file is converted from exchange to domino, the contacts are stored in the mail.nsf. Then if I want the contacts to be in the local address book, I have to go in the client preferences and check the contacts synchronization. I have looked at the desktop policies to try to automate this and found nothing. Is there a way not to do it “manually” on each Notes client ? if impossible by policies, maybe by an agent or by modifying the mail8 template ?
thank you very much for any suggestion !

Hi,
You could use the code that is in the Synch agent from the mail file and put it in the PostOpen event of every mail file during your migration.
It would scan that mail file and put the contacts in the local NAb.
You coul add a few settings to prohibit a user to execute it several times.
I’ve did something similar. In my case, the clients didn’t have the right template (Old R4 template) so in our scenario, the ($Policies) view was not there, so no policies were applied. In my case, i was doing a replace design via script.
Here’s an example of the dashboard. Every times that the code was run, a result document was created.
