XFOR: Exchange Server Migration Wizard for Microsoft Mail Fails on Schedule+ Files
This article was previously published under Q202855
When you migrate a Microsoft Mail postoffice mailbox to Exchange Server using the Migration Wizard, the users' schedule information may fail to migrate.
The postoffice has stranded or duplicate Schedule+ data files for the users. Stranded or duplicate Schedule+ data files exist when one or more of the following conditions apply:
- Schedule+ 1.0 was originally in use, then the users were later upgraded to Schedule+ 7.x. However the version 1.x files were not removed.
- The Schedule.key and Schedul2.key files still exist in the Cal directory on the MS Mail postoffice.
- The users have never used Schedule+, but received a Schedule+ meeting request at some time in the past.
If Schedule+ 1.0 is no longer used, remove all Cal files and Schedule.key files from the Cal directory.
If there is still a mixture of 1.0 and 7.
x users, use Dumpkey.exe to check for any duplicate entries. To do so:
- Copy Dumpkey.exe into the Cal directory on the postoffice.
- At a command prompt, type:
DumpKey schedule.key > [filename.txt]
This will give you the users' alias and hexadecimal number for their .cal (1.0 calendar) file. - Next, type the command for Schedule+ 7.x:
Dumpkey schedul2.key > [filename.txt]
This will give you the users' alias and hexadecimal number for the .scd (7.x calendar) file. - If duplication is present and some of the 1.0 entries must be retained, in the Schedule+ Administrator program (Adminsch.exe), on the Administration menu, click Clean Up Schedule Files. This will remove the stranded entries from the Schedule.key file.
By default, the Schedule.key is a hidden file in the Cal sub-directory of the MS Mail postoffice.
