SYMPTOMS
========

When Exchange Server users who are recently migrated from GroupWise try to
schedule an appointment or meeting, they receive an error message stating that
this appointment conflicts with another appointment. When you check their
Calendar in Outlook 98, you find some events that are taking all day. These
events are their GroupWise notes that were incorrectly migrated to Exchange
Server.

CAUSE
=====

GroupWise notes have no direct equivalent in Outlook. In GroupWise, notes are
Calendar entries that users can generate to remind themselves of certain events,
similar to tasks. In Outlook, notes do not reflect any entries in the Calendar,
and thus GroupWise notes do not map directly to Outlook notes.

All GroupWise notes (those that have been accepted and show up as Calendar
entries) are migrated to Exchange Server as an all day event for each note.
These events conflict with any new appointment or meeting for that day.
Consequently, the user receives the error message mentioned above.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Outlook 98.
