This topic explains how to install and launch the Calendar Connector task on a Domino server.

Procedure

To install the Calendar Connector add-in task on the Lotus Domino server

Copy excalcon.exe from the \Program Files\Exchsrvr\BIN\ directory on the server running Microsoft® Exchange Server 2003 to the Lotus Domino installation directory on the Lotus Domino server. By default, the Lotus Domino installation directory is x:\lotus\domino, where x is the drive letter on which Lotus Domino is installed.
Start Lotus Domino Administrator and log on as a user who has Lotus Domino administrator permissions.
Switch to the server console: Click the Server tab, and then, on the Status tab, click Console.
At the console, type load excalcon <exchange-server-name> <mail-file-name>, where exchange-server-name is the name of the server running Exchange Server 2003 with Calendar Connector installed, and mail-file-name is the name of the gateway mail file you configured earlier. For example, if your Exchange server name is server01 and you used the name exchange.box for the gateway file name, you would type: load excalcon server01 exchange.box.
Press ENTER and verify that Calendar Connector for Exchange has started. To verify that the Calendar Connector add-in loaded correctly, type show tasks at the console, and then ensure that there is an entry for Exchange Cal Conn. Using the previous example, it should look something like this:

Exchange Cal Conn Not Connected to ct-exch2 for exchange.box. Stats=0 0/0 0
On the Lotus Domino server, open the server's Notes.ini file in a text editor, such as Notepad.
Find the line in the file that starts with ServerTasks= and add ,excalcon <exchange-server-name> <mail-file-name> to the end of this line, where exchange-server-name is the name of the server running Exchange Server 2003 and mail-file-name is the name of the gateway mail file you configured earlier. For example, the original line in the file might look like this:

ServerTasks=Router,Replica,Update,Amgr,AdminP,CalConn,Event,Sched,Stats,HTTP,DIIOP,IMAP,POP3,NNTP,maps
After you add the parameter for starting the Calendar Connector add-in, the line might look like this:

ServerTasks=Router,Replica,Update,Amgr,AdminP,CalConn,Event,Sched,Stats,HTTP,DIIOP,IMAP,POP3,NNTP,maps,excalcon server01 exchange.box
Save the modified version of Notes.ini.
