An acceptance message may contain an incorrect date format in the message body when a Lotus Notes user accepts a meeting request that is sent by an Exchange Server 2003 SP2 user
On This PageSYMPTOMSConsider the following scenario. In Microsoft Exchange
Server 2003 Service Pack 2 (SP2), you set up the Microsoft Exchange
Server 2003 Connector for Lotus Notes to connect to
a Lotus Notes Domino server. Then, an Exchange Server 2003 user sends a
meeting request to a Lotus Notes user. The Lotus Notes user accepts the request
by using
the Respond
option. In this scenario, you notice that the Lotus Notes Connector generates an acceptance message that may contain an incorrect date format in the message body. For example, you expect the date to use the "dd/mm/yyyy" format. This is the format this is used when you set the English (Australia) language setting on the computer. However, the date in the acceptance message body uses the "mm/dd/yyyy" format. CAUSEThis problem occurs because the Lotus Notes Connector cannot
recognize the
language settings that are set in the Regional and Language Options Control Panel
program in Microsoft Windows. Therefore,
the Lotus Notes Connector uses the
date format for the default language setting. The default language setting is English
(United States). RESOLUTIONTo resolve this problem, install the latest version of
the Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 Connector for Lotus Notes. To obtain the latest version of the Lotus Notes Connector, visit
