• Check for any names with invalid characters in the <strong>cc</strong>:<strong>Mail</strong> direc<strong>to</strong>ry.<br />

Notes only supports letters (including National Language Support<br />

characters), numbers, ampersand, apostrophe, hyphen, period, space<br />

and underscore for registered user names. A <strong>cc</strong>:<strong>Mail</strong> name may contain<br />

characters that are not valid in Notes. Trying <strong>to</strong> register <strong>cc</strong>:<strong>Mail</strong> users<br />

with invalid names results in processing errors.<br />

• Familiarize yourself with how the migration <strong>to</strong>ol parses <strong>cc</strong>:<strong>Mail</strong> name<br />

formats. Certain name formats and characters may not be converted<br />

correctly during migration. To ensure that all migrated users are created<br />

with appropriate Notes names, it may be necessary <strong>to</strong> edit certain names<br />

either before or after migration.<br />

Understanding how the migration <strong>to</strong>ol parses <strong>cc</strong>:<strong>Mail</strong> name formats<br />

Unlike Notes names, which are made up of First name, Last name, and<br />

Middle initial components, the <strong>cc</strong>:<strong>Mail</strong> direc<strong>to</strong>ry s<strong>to</strong>res names as a single<br />

character string, including commas and spaces. The name format used<br />

depends on the conventions established within the organization. For<br />

example, the same user could be listed in the <strong>cc</strong>:<strong>Mail</strong> direc<strong>to</strong>ry as either<br />

Susan Salani or Salani, Susan.<br />

In generating a Notes name <strong>from</strong> an imported <strong>cc</strong>:<strong>Mail</strong> name, the migration<br />

<strong>to</strong>ol first determines the format of the name, and then parses the name in<strong>to</strong><br />

Notes name components. The Middle initial field in the Person document<br />

a<strong>cc</strong>ommodates a maximum of two characters; longer names are truncated.<br />

The following table shows how the migration <strong>to</strong>ol generates Notes names<br />

<strong>from</strong> common <strong>cc</strong>:<strong>Mail</strong> name formats:<br />
