Tools used in Lotus Mail migration directory for migration

In this blog, various tools are discussed that are included in the Lotus cc:Mail Migration Directory toolkit. These tools are helpful in migrating Lotus Notes to Outlook or converting NSF to PST.

Lotus cc:Mail Migration Directory toolkit utilities enable MS Exchange Server administrators and MS Outlook users to convert legacy cc:Mail directory information to Exchange Server data.

Following are various Lotus cc:Mail Migration Directory Toolkit utilities

• DirPop – This Exchange Server Event Script uses Active Directory Service Interfaces (ADSI) to update a user’s Exchange Server directory entry from data submitted on an e-form.

• QuickDL – This utility quickly creates an Exchange Server distribution list (through ADSI) to hold all users on an Exchange Server computer in the site that is running cc:Mail and MS Mail Post Office.

• ML2DL – This in-place conversion utility takes cc:Mail mailing lists and converts them to Exchange Server distribution lists (using ADSI).

• PMLExtr – This utility extracts user’s cc:Mail private mailing lists into common format files that are ready for import.

• PML2PDL – This user-driven utility takes an output file from PMLExtr and migrates the data to the Outlook personal address book (PAB) or Contacts folder using Collaboration Data Objects (CDO).

• CC8Priv – This utility extracts private directory information from a client using cc:Mail Release 8.x, and then migrates the data to Outlook.

• PRIVDIRU – This user-driven utility performs a direct conversion of the cc:Mail Private Directory file, Privdir.ini, to Outlook Contacts. This version of the utility uses the Outlook object model to convert the Privdir.ini data directly to the Contacts folder, and by-passes the file import stage.

Migrating from Lotus Notes to Outlook is best done with NSF to PST converter software. Kernel for Notes to Outlook is the best solution for this.
