Hi,We are currently looking for a way to upgrade the local databases to ODS 43. Doing a local compact of the database will solve this issue, but we would like to do this automatically without end-user intervention.
We were also looking at a batch distribution but loading the ncompact locally requires the notes password when the client is not running.
Any idea is welcome.
Thanks

You could have a batch file running on a Domino Server, which connects to each user’s harddrive and compacts the databases over the network. This would of course require that the user is not running Notes at this time, so you could for schedule this over a weekend, and ask all users to log out from their workstations on friday, but not turn the PC off. This batch file could be probably improved, by making it move all databases to a temporary directory on the server first, compacting them locally, and then moving the databases back to the user’s harddisk.
