Resolution
There were translation tables on the old server, that were not copied over to the new server.

There will be two parameters - one for incoming and one for outgoing that will show you the names of the tables and their locations. ETOA_FILENAME= ATOE_FILENAME=
Copy the tables into the $XCOM_HOME/convtab folder on the new machine
Configure your current windows servers
Edit the xcom.glb file
Change INTERNAL_CONVERSION_TABLES = NO
Point the ETOA_FILENAME= to your table name $XCOM_HOME\convtab\xxxx.tab
