A folder name that includes DBCS characters is corrupted after you use the Exchange Server 2003 Migration Wizard for Lotus Notes to migrate mailboxes from Lotus Notes to Exchange Server 2003 SP2

Consider the following scenario. In Lotus Notes, a folder name includes double-byte character set (DBCS) characters. You use the Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 Migration Wizard for Lotus Notes to migrate mailboxes from Lotus Notes to Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack 2 (SP2). In this scenario, the folder name that includes DBCS characters is corrupted in Exchange Server 2003 after the migration.

This problem occurs because of incorrect logic that occurs when the Exchange Server 2003 Migration Wizard for Lotus Notes parses the folder name during the migration process.

To resolve this problem, install the September 2006 Web release of the Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 Migration Wizard for Lotus Notes. This version of the Migration Wizard for Lotus Notes includes a hotfix that resolves this problem.
