Exchange coexistence with Lotus notes and Domino

Thanks for your assitance in advance.

I am implementing a coexistence strategy b/w Microsoft Exchange 5.5 and Domino R6. The coexsistence is to allow meeting and calendaring, names lookup as well busy and free time lookups.

the calendar and exchange connector sits on the Exchange server for this to work.

Is there any tool equivalent to the exchange connector and calendar connector provided by Lotus/IBM to allow the same functionality that the exchange and calendar connector provides.

If possible a tool that can be installed on domino intead of installing it on exchange to achieve the required functionalities.

Thanks in advance

There used to be third party tools that could link the two systems together but with Microsoft giving their tools away I don’t think that they are commercially viable any more.

I integrated 3 systems using the Exchange connector & once it is up & running it works very well. It handles most of the things that you need, is relatively low maintenance (restart the service now and again, keep an eye on the queues) & cheap.

Why are you still using 5.5, are you migrating to ND6/7 or will you upgrade to a later version of Exchange ?

We have a sister company on 5.5 and they have been planning to go to 2003. Hence the coexistence. We are going to ND6.What is this third party tool you mentioned
