Exchange to Domino migration

HCL Domino Domino Forum

Hi all,I’m doing some tests before performing the migration and I found a very strange problem. Fields Firstname and Lastname, that are set correctly in active directory, appear to be inverted once migrated to Domino Directory (so I have the firstname in the “Lastname” field and vice-versa)using DUS. I don’t have this problem if I use the Binary Tree tool for example (on the same pc win XP sp2 ita, same Notes 6.5.3uk, same Outlook, same profile), so it seems to be related to migration performed using the Administrator client. I searched through the forum but I couldn’t find any post for this trouble.

Thank you in advance

I had this problem a couple of years ago and had to log a call with Lotus This is the email they sent me :

What we found is that the default Display Name is used for building the

Notes username when migrating users from an Exchange server.

As a workaround for this issue, add the parameter

“ExchangeMigrationUseNameParts=1” to the Notes.ini of the Admin Client used

to perform the migration.

I will leave incident open till you let me know if everything is working

alright. Here is the example results.

Example of a user entry in Exchange:

===============================

FirstName = Jane

LastName = Doe

Display Name = Doe Jane

When migrated WITHOUT the parameter in place the user appears in Domino as

follows:

=======================================================================

UserName = Jane, Doe

FirstName = Doe

LastName = Jane

When migrated WITH the parameter in place the user appears in Domino as

follows:

=================================================================

UserName = Doe, Jane

FirstName = Jane

LastName = Doe
