Exchange/Active Directory using Domino LDAP

HCL Domino Domino Forum
1

I have a customer who uses Exchange as its main mail engine (salary employees have it), but their hourly employees have a Notes email system (it is far cheaper and they don’t do internet email).

Currently the 2 are not talking because of a bad consulting firm which did not know how do things best. (long story)

Anyway I was wondering if anyone has ever had Exchange email users see the Notes LDAP Domino directory.

Any help/response would be apprecated.

When you say Exchange uses, I’m assuming the users are using Outlook. If that’s the case,1. you configure the Domino server to be an LDAP server (the admin help db on the server will walk you through it).

  1. Configure Outlook with a new account and add an internet directory (LDAP) account.

Hope this helps.

First: Thank you for the response.Second: Yes I am saying Outlook users (who use Exchange server 2002/2003)

The number 2 statement from you is what I was looking for.

If I may ask a question about the statement. When you say configure outlook with a new account is that each individual user desktop? Is there a way to have the server update outlook instead of each user?

Looking forward to your reply and Thanks again for your response.

I’m not familiar enough with Outlook/Exchange to know if you can have Exchange update the Outlook client automatically. It’s a registry setting in Windows, so maybe you could configure Outlook with LDAP the way you want it on a test machine, and then export the registry file. Then you could run that it in an NT/Windows login script.

Here’s where it’s located (at least XP, should be similar to other win32 os’s)

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles\Outlook followed by a long hexadecimal keyname. NOTE: I would be very careful and do thorough testing before you start altering the Registry - and do it on a TEST machine.
