Neil Hobson, a Principal Consultant at Silversands – a UK-based MS Gold Partner, is writing a series of articles that walks the reader step-by-step through the migration process for customers upgrading from Lotus Notes/Domino to Exchange Server 2007 using the Lotus Transporter Suite.
Neil plans to write 6 articles – detailing the scenario where a customer running Exchange (Contoso) has acquired an organisation running Notes/Domino (Fabrikam), and the journey as they move from co-existence to full migration of Exchange Server 2007. This’ll involve 4 key milestones:
- Directory synchronization : This is where Contoso and Fabrikam share address books across the two systems.
- Free/Busy lookups : Configuration of the free/busy connector allows users on either system to check the availability of users on the opposing system.
- Migrate users to Active Directory : This process ensures that the Domino users’ email addresses are represented in the Exchange Global Address List (GAL).
- Migrate mail to Exchange : When Fabrikam is ready to move users from Domino to Exchange, this process moves the users’ mailbox items from one system to the other.
The first two articles have been published on Exchange.org and provide a good overview, then detail how to synchronise the directories so that users from both organisations can e-mail each other with ease.
