-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


SYMPTOMS
========

When you use LinkAge Directory Exchange version 3.2 to perform directory
synchronization between OV/VM and Lotus Notes over an Exchange Server 5.5
backbone, directory synchronization does not work.

In the following example, OV/MVS entries are not dirsynced to Lotus Notes and
vice versa:

  OV/MVS-----SNADS LDE------->Exchange 5.5----Exchange 5.5 Notes
  Connector ------>Notes


This problem only occurs if you use LinkAge Directory Exchange (LDE) and an
Exchange 5.5 connector to perform directory synchronization together.

CAUSE
=====

When custom recipients are dirsynced via LDE connectors to Exchange, the
recipients are not exported by any 5.5 connector, because their raw property
"imported from" field is listed as a type that the connector misunderstands it
received it from.


RESOLUTION
==========

To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Exchange Server
version 5.5. For more information, please see the following article in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base:

  Q191014 XGEN: How to Obtain the Latest Exchange Server 5.5 Service Pack

later:

  Component: Exchange Notes Connector

  File Name      Version

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server
version 5.5. This problem was first corrected in Exchange Server 5.5 Service
Pack 2.
