Migrator Notes-Exchange and editing items through EWS

Hello,

we have problems when editing calendar items through EWS that have been migrated with MNE. No problems occur with newly created entries from Outlook or OWA, or entries that have been edited through Outlook after migration.

Four issues have been identified so far:

  • In meetings migrated from Notes mailbox test@contoso.com to Exchange mailbox test2@contoso.com, the organizer address is still set to test@contoso.com, although the organizer should be the owner of the mailbox.
  • When updating a calendar item, appointments created during MNE migration are reversed to meetings, although we correctly send the parameter SendInvitationsOrCancellationsMode.SendToNone.
  • When binding (Appointment.Bind()) to calendar entries that have been created in Notes in timezone W. Europe, have been migrated through MNE and that are correctly displayed in timezone “W. Europe” in Outlook, EWS returns them as created in tzone://Microsoft/Utc
  • When updating all-day events that have been created in timezone W. Europe, and providing a new time in timezone W. Europe, the time is wrongly updated to Utc.

Is there anything we can do to mitigate these issues? (Except manually editing every migrated entry through Outlook before editing it through EWS.)

Kind regards,

Alexander

  • Thanks for the update. I understand that the items in question were migrated with MNE version 4.14.1.119. In a later hotfix version of MNE, 4.14.1.155, the following enhancement was added:

    TFS 674823

    Added support for the additional MAPI time zone properties that were introduced in Office 2007. Support for these additional MAPI time zone properties corrects a scenario where mobile devices that sync their calendar to the migrated mailbox using ActiveSync (such as iOS and Android devices) may display All Day calendar events spanning multiple days instead of one day as expected. The new configuration parameter [TimeZoneNames] has been added.

    IMPORTANT This enhancement contains a breaking change to the [TimeZoneInfo] Program Parameter. If your installation currently contains configuration data in the [TimeZoneInfo] section, this configuration data must be updated. See the [TimeZoneInfo] section in the NME Program Parameters Reference for details.

    This Enhancement Request included a redesign of the way MNE handles time zone data, which may have resolved the issue you are experiencing, as the product team is unable to reproduce the issue in the current version of MNE.
