The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Exchange Server, version 5.5
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
With an Exchange Server 5.5 computer plus the WEB2 release, a meeting request
sent from PROFS to Exchange Server is not transmitted using the correct IPM, and
is received as a "normal" message (IPM.NOTE).
On the other hand, a request sent from Exchange Server to PROFS can be received
in English using the following workaround: in the [LME-PROFS] section of the
Exchconn.ini file in Exchsrvr\Connect\Exchconn directory, set language=1033.
The dates are always transmitted in U.S. format.
CAUSE
=====
When sending an OV/VM meeting from the host to a non-English locale, Exchange
Server is sent as normal mail because the connector picks up the localized
strings to compare for the JP/GR/FR equivalent, but the host is sending the
literals in English. Since the connector cannot find the keywords from the
incoming meeting invitations, it turns the invitations to an ordinary message.
RESOLUTION
==========
To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Exchange Server
version 5.5. For additional information, please see the following article in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base:
Q191014 XGEN: How to Obtain the latest Exchange Server 5.5 Service Pack
The English version of this fix should have the following file attributes or
later:
Component: Exchange PROFS Connector
+------------------------+
| File name | Version |
+------------------------+
| Lsdiavm.exe | 5.5.2541 |
+------------------------+
| Lscps.dll | 5.5.2541 |
+------------------------+
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 3.
MORE INFORMATION
================
To customize the way dates are sent and received, three new parameters have been
added to the Exchconn.ini file under the [LME-PROFS] section:
- CalendarDateFormat = U | I | E, default is U
- CalendarTimeFormat = 12 | 24, default is 12
- CalendarDateSeparator = / | - | ? | <whatever char>, default is /
This solution assumes all OV/VM nodes that the connector is talking to are using
the same set of configurations.
