XFOR: Attendees Missing from Migrated Groupwise Meeting |
The information in this article applies to:
-
Microsoft Exchange Server, version 5.5
SYMPTOMS
When you migrate users and meetings from Novell GroupWise to Microsoft
Exchange Server, no meeting attendees are migrated. The missing attendees
may include user accounts and other resource accounts that were
successfully migrated to Exchange Server.
CAUSE
When users and meetings are migrated from GroupWise to Exchange Server, the
GroupWise source extractor is used to copy the desired information from the
GroupWise post office to migration files. The Migration Wizard is then used
to import the migration files to Exchange Server. Meeting attendees are not
included in the migration files. Therefore, they are not migrated to
Exchange Server when you import the migration files.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server
version 5.5.
This problem has been corrected in the latest U.S. Service Pack for
Microsoft Exchange Server version 5.5. For information about obtaining the
Service Pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base

MORE INFORMATION
The GroupWise source extractor migrates calendar information by creating a
Schedule+ Interchange (.sc2) file for each user. Each .sc2 file contains
the information from that user's calendar. When the Migration Wizard is
used to import the migration files to Exchange Server, a Calendar
Attachments folder is created in the user's Inbox folder. This new folder
contains a message for each meeting that has been accepted. If a meeting
contains an attachment, the attachment is included with the associated
message in the Calendar Attachments folder. In addition, a message is
created in the Inbox folder for each meeting that has not been accepted.
When you apply the fix described in this article, the attendees that are
listed on the To, From, Cc, and Bcc lines in the GroupWise meeting appear
in the associated message in the Calendar Attachments or Inbox folder.
Users and resources are both included and are listed separately. All
invited users and resources are listed, even if they did not accept the
meeting. Text indicating that some of the attendees that are listed may not
have accepted the meeting is also included in the message.
