Finding the Notes to .NET migration paper from Microsoft, and copyright issues...

Category e-Pro

As expected, I've received a few requests for the original Notes to .NET paper that Microsoft posted and then pulled.  And until this weekend, I was fully prepared to send out copies to whomever requested it.  But I was reviewing a book on open source licensing and contracts, and they dealt with the issue of "copyright".  The way I understand it, if a document is copyrighted, technically I am not allowed to distribute copies of that document.  And since I don't treat that article too kindly in my e-Pro article, I'm thinking that sending it out to others via email would not go over too well with a certain large software company that could legally squash me if so desired.

So...

If I've read this wrong or misunderstood it, please let me know.  If I think I'm legally OK to send you a copy, I'd love to do so.  Or, if you can find the article somewhere else on the 'net, go for it.  The actual document title in Word format is "Migration Of Lotus Notes/Domino Applications to the Microsoft .NET Environment", and the file name is "Migration of Lotus Notes-Domino Applications.doc".  I think Microsoft originally distributed it as a ZIP file, but I don't have that file any more, so I can't tell you what that file name is.

Or...  You might want to contact either the Microsoft Exchange Team or CASAHL and see if they will email you a copy.  Those two email addresses are exchdocs@microsoft.com and info@casahl.com.

Finally...  if someone knows where you can download the document from or if you have success in obtaining a copy, let me know and I'll inform everyone.

I need the Migration of Lotus Notes-Domino Applications.doc for Lotus notes to Moss 2007 migration.

The document you have posted, covers Lotus notes to Sharepoint 2003 migration.
Could you please send me that document that covers Lotus notes to Moss 2007 migration or any link to that?

Best Regards,
Joy

Gravatar Image3 - Sorry... I don't have a document like that. You'll have to see if Microsoft has published something like that (as they were the ones who published the original document).

Gravatar Image4 - The original distrubution filename was :

Notes-Domino_Apps_Migration.exe

It is a self extracting zipfile.

Gravatar Image5 - pls mail me the doc.. i need it very badly...
