XADM: Migration from Collabra to MS Exchange Fails

• Microsoft Exchange Server, version 5.0

SYMPTOMS

The migration program stops responding (hangs) and creates a list of Event Log error messages when it tries to migrate a Word Document from Collabra to a Microsoft Exchange public folder. It always fails when the migration program reaches a .doc attachment. The beta version of the same migration program does not hang. It ignores all Word documents and therefore does not try to migrate them.

CAUSE

Migration Wizard may hang while migrating Collabra Share forums with Word attachments. If it doesn't hang, the attachment causes an error on import, and is not migrated. Collabra treats Word attachments as regular attachments, but uses a feature of the file format that is associated with OLE presentation data. This data occurs where other attachment data is expected.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server version 5.0. This problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft Exchange Server 5.0 U.S. Service Pack.
