Why migrate & what tools are available Notes to Exchange
Mangoman
Perhaps it is because Exch is easier to administrate?
Or is it because there are more experienced Exch admins than Notes admins
out there?
Or is it just easier to run MS everything?
Well, I am familiar with the tools to help migrate Exch to Notes (such as
BinaryTree) what tools are available for migrating Notes to Exch. I know
Exch now comes with the connector etc. My question is what to do with DBs
like the end users names and address books, journal, calendar etc. What
inexpensive tools are available for converting these into there appropriate
Exch / Outlook counter parts?

Clearly as "easy" as it is to administer MS everything, youre having a hard
time.
Just use the Migration wizard my fried. it should solve your problem
easily....after all, that what MS tries to do , make life EASY.

I am neither a Notes Admin nor an Exchange Admin. I do have some experience
"playing with both" and it is my impression that:
There are more people that are experienced in Exch admin than there are with
Lotus admin experience. Is that right or wrong?
Basic Exch functions are easier to administrate than are their counterpart
functions in Notes. Is that right or wrong?
You seem to agree with me that it is easier to run MS Everything. Is that
right or wrong?
I understand the reasons that a company might go from Exch to Notes.
(Workflow, Groupware, Security, Replication, Stability etc) Why go from
Notes to Exch though if none of the above? Apparently this was the part of
my post that got under your skin. It was just a question though, and a
serious one at that. In no way was it meant to be obnoxious. Just looking
for examples of reasons to migrate Notes to Exch. BTW, I am sorry you are so
bitter and angry about your job.
As far as your accusing me of having a hard time with a migration project.
Not at all. I was just asked a question by a friend about tools to make such
a migration easier on the end users. As I understand it, the migration
wizard is great on the server end. If you read my post however, you will see
that was not my question. I was curious about tools to migrate information
in an end user's Notes Journal, Calendar, Name and Address Book, Archive,
and other Notes databases to the new Outlook client that they will be
running when the migration is complete.
So, does anyone have information on inexpensive resources for converting
above databases to a format usable by Outlook / Exchange Clients?
Finally, you should invest in a spell / grammar checker, or perhaps your
apostrophe key ( ' ) is just broken. Also, I know MS is good, but when did
they incorporate frying into their wizards? Perhaps since it is so slow, it
will now fry a chicken for me to eat while I wait for the process to
complete?

that they have gone from Notes to Exchange is because some dumbass IT
Director who doesn't really know crap about IT, but thinks he does, says
it will be so. Afterwards, they always complain about why they can't do
this or that anymore, and that is when they find out what a mistake it
was. And not to mention the times when the Email system was brought down
when one the big viruses gets loose. That same director then asks "How
did this happen?" and gee, what do you know, it was because we installed
Exchange and LookOut

There are a lot more "paper" Exchange admins out there, because you
need to pass the test to get an MSCE. IMHO people who get a Domino
certification are better able to manage a Domino installation than
your average MSCE is at managing an Exchange installation, (because
Exchagne is one of the things on "the checklist" of an MSCE, Domino
certification is about Domino)

Not really, if you don't know how to set up the Domino Administration
Process it is more difficult, also because MSFT didn't design the
Domino admin client it is "different" -- to some that means "harder"

It is easier to get an "All MSFT" installation running, but it is more
difficult to keep it running (especially in the "real world")

If these things don't matter, then there is no reason to change, but
most organizations care about stability and security (especially those
lookOut viruses -- which are a security issue)
