Migrating from Lotus Notes to Outlook can be tiresome and a prolonged process. With transfer of other items such as calendar, drafts, archives etc from Lotus Notes to Exchange, the process can be seriously time-consuming and complex. Using migration wizard by Microsoft might not work wonders for you. Some of the situations when Microsoft NSF to PST migration wizard fails to perform are discussed here.
When you migrate user mailboxes from Lotus Notes to Microsoft Outlook using Exchange 2000 Migration Wizard, the data at the Location field of the Meeting Request does not migrate. After the successful completion of migration process, you receive Migrated Calendar Information dialog box from the MS Exchange Migration Wizard that comprises of a .sc2 attachment. You have to import this file from Outlook so as to populate Outlook calendar with the calendar information from Lotus Notes. After importing this file, the Location field is not populated with data.
One more example is when migration wizard does not extract more than 16,000 items per folder. This is when you try migrating the items from Notes to Outlook by using ...
... migration wizard. The migration wizard fails to extract email items if the size of the mailbox is larger than 1 GB or the email items are more than 16,000 items per folder. However, if the mailbox size is less than 1 GB, migration completes successfully. But if you have more than 16,128 messages in a single folder, the migration might leave you in midst.
This issue here occurs because we have of a few limitations that we face while migrating from Lotus Notes database. The problematic issues are API can only obtain 16,128 items from any given folder and size limitation of 1 GB for migration items in Notes database. You can resolve these issues too. To do so, reduce the size of the mailbox on the Lotus Notes Server and use Outlook to dump all the mail items to PST files and merge the files into the user's mailbox using Exmerge tool.
All these issues will and might occur even if you try that this doesn't happen. Therefore, it is always better to be cautious rather than being sorry lately.
