Support for the Exchange Connector for Lotus Notes in Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack 1

Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack 1 (SP1) includes the Microsoft Exchange Connector for Lotus Notes (also known as Connector for Lotus Notes) . The Exchange Connector for Lotus Notes is used to connect the IBM Lotus Notes 6 client and the IBM Lotus Notes 6 server to an Exchange server.

After you install Exchange Server 2003 SP1, Microsoft will provide support for the Exchange Connector for Lotus Notes when the following conditions are true:

The Exchange Connector for Lotus Notes, the IBM Lotus Notes 6 client, and the IBM Lotus Notes 6 server must be installed on Microsoft Windows 2000 Server or on Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server.

Important Windows Server 2003 does not support the IBM Lotus Notes 6.0.2CF1 client or the IBM Lotus Notes 6.0.2CF1 server. Therefore, Microsoft Windows Server 2003 does not support the Exchange Connector for Lotus Notes.
Both the IBM Lotus Notes client and the IBM Lotus Notes server must be version 6 or later versions. Earlier versions of IBM Lotus Notes are not supported.
