- Microsoft Exchange Server, version 5.5 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

In Microsoft Exchange Server version 5.5, after you start the Exchange Connector
for Lotus Notes service, Event ID 1 is constantly logged in the Event Viewer
application log. Some of these events include the following description:

  LME-NOTES-DXANOTES(020d)1 64002:error[Invalid configuration:failed to
  initialize notes directory exchange agent].

-or-

  Default queue route of Q does not exist.

If directory synchronization between Exchange Server and Lotus Notes is
configured, it does not work, but mail flow functions correctly.

CAUSE
=====

The Q directory is missing for %Exchsrvr%\Connect\Exchconn.

RESOLUTION
==========

Open Windows NT Explorer and create the directory %Exchsrvr%\Connect\Exchconn
\Q.

As soon as you create the directory, the Exchange Connector for Lotus Notes
service will automatically create the following Q subdirectories:

  Archive
  Badmif
  Dxamex.in
  DXAmex.out

Restart the Exchange Connector for Lotus Notes service, and the Application Log
events should stop, and directory replication will resume.
