We are helping design a global infrastructure for a company that made the decision to move from Exchange.  Excellent timing from Lotus that they have enhanced the MS Exchange to Domino conversion tool.

The Mail Convert tool, used in post-migration processing, has been extended to provide the capability to convert Microsoft Exchange addresses to valid Domino addresses.  This ensures that addresses in messages for those users who have migrated mail files from an Exchange server are converted to the correct Notes format.
For the Address conversion process to work correctly, the cache for Name and Address Book (NAB) entries on the Domino Server must be current.

While meeting reminders are not migrated by the tool, everything else seems to be moving right along.  There is one step you need to take in dealing with unprocessed meetings and it is listed in the 6.5.1 Release Notes I found.

In Outlook. unprocessed meetings (i.e., meeting invitations or reschedules that have not been responded to in Outlook) may appear on the user's calendar, but Notes does not allow for this behavior.  Unprocessed calendar entries migrated from Exchange to Domino will not be migrated to the user's Notes mailfile, and will not appear in the Notes Calendar or Meetings view.
