SYMPTOMS
========

After upgrading the Microsoft Exchange Notes Connector to Service Pack 1 for
Exchange Server 5.5, directory synchronization (dirsync) may no longer work, and
the following errors may appear in the Exchange Connectivity Administrator
program's log browser:

CAUSE
=====

Exchange Server 5.5 Service Pack 1 Setup overwrites the following files located
in the <Exchsrvr>\Connect\Exchconn directory:

  DXAMEX\amap.tbl
  DXAMEX\mapnotes.tbl
  DXANOTES\mapmex.tbl

The overwriting resets all changes to the mapping rules from Lotus Notes to
Exchange Server and may cause the previous error message. The new Mapmex.tbl may
refer to attributes that are not defined in a customized Amap.tbl.

WORKAROUND
==========

Save the contents of the Dxamex and Dxanotes directories, and restore them after
applying Service Pack 1.
