The main executable of the Connector for Lotus Notes service is called Dispatch.exe. This is a process controller that is started using the parameters -cexchconn.ini -nLME-NOTES -pCONTROL-SERVICE -l"C:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\bin" -vLME-NOTES to dispatch the various tasks of message transfer and directory synchronization to other processes, based on the settings from an Exchconn.ini file. Exchconn.ini is created automatically, as part of the connector installation and configuration.

The following components are involved in information handling:

• Dxanotes.dll This component checks the Lotus Domino Directory for recipient updates. This component also transfers Exchange address information changes to the Lotus Domino/Notes address book.

• Dxamex.dll This component checks Active Directory for recipient updates. This component also transfers Lotus Domino/Notes address information changes to Active Directory.

• Lsdxa.exe This is the directory exchange manager that controls both Dxanotes.dll and Dxamex.dll.

• Lsmexin.exe This component obtains converted messages from the READYIN folder in the connector mailbox, verifies the validity of the recipients, and places the messages in the MTS-IN queue.

• Lsmexnts.exe This component obtains messages from the READYOUT folder in the connector mailbox, converts them from MAPI to Lotus Notes format, and writes them to the mail.box database on the Domino server.

• Lsmexout.exe This component obtains outbound messages from the MTS-OUT queue, checks Active Directory to replace target recipient information with corresponding Lotus Notes addresses, and places the messages in the READYOUT folder in the connector mailbox.

• Lsntsmex.exe This component downloads messages from the Lotus Notes exchange.box database, converts them to MAPI format, and places them into the READYIN folder in the connector mailbox.


In addition to the processes, Connector for Lotus Notes also includes a Microsoft Exchange Connectivity Controller helper service (Lscntrl.exe), which can be used to stop the individual connector processes.

All files reside in the \Program Files\Exchsrvr\Bin directory.
