Control the Propagation of Attributes Between Notes and Exchange

During directory synchronization, you can control the propagation of object attributes from Exchange to Notes and from Notes to Exchange by designating specific attributes as read-only in an attribute mapping table (Amap.tbl).

To control the propagation of attributes between Notes and Exchange:

  1. Caution   Make a copy of the original Amap.tbl files before modifying them.

  2. To control the propagation of attributes when importing Notes directory information to Active Directory, use Microsoft Notepad to open the Exchsrvr\Conndata\Dxamex\Amap.tbl file.
  3. At the end of the line that defines the attribute in \Dxamex\Amap.tbl, type a space followed by READONLY. For example...
    To prevent the propagation of each Notes object's department name to the Exchange organization, modify the DEPARTMENT attribute definition to read as follows:
    DEPARTMENT 64 department READONLY
    
  4. To control the propagation of specific attributes when importing information from Active Directory to Notes, use Microsoft Notepad to open the Exchsrvr\Conndata\Dxanotes\Amap.tbl file.
  5. At the end of the line that defines the attribute in \Dxanotes\Amap.tbl, replace the word NULL with READONLY. For example...
    To prevent the propagation of each Active Directory object's department name to Notes, modify the DEPARTMENT attribute definition to read as follows:
    DEPARTMENT 64 department READONLY
    
  6. Save the file.
  7. Start System Manager
    On the Start menu, point to Programs, point to Microsoft Exchange, and then click System Manager.
  8. Navigate to Connectors.
