Changing the Admin server for mail databases

HCL Domino Domino Forum
1

I want to change my Administration Server (Domino 5.0.8) to a new hardware with Domino 6.5.4. It’s no only a hdw change, but also the new Domino server will be the new Admin Server (so a new name).I first added the new Domino Server to the domain, and am now moving all the mail and app databases to the new server. No problem.

I think i’ll have to indicate the new server’s name as the Admin Server in names.nsf, admin4.nsf, and so on, but:

1/ Is there a way to use the Admin Process to make this change to be sure the “old” Admin Server’s name is everywhere removed ?

2/ Before i finally remove the Admin Server, i want to indicate in the ACL mail databases the new Admin Server name.

How can i do this, as only the user has enough access to change the ACL on his mail base ?

Thanks fo help.

Subject: Changing the Admin server for mail databases

The way to change the Administration server of each of the mail databases would have been to use the “Move to another server” feature.

To do this in R5 you should open the Administrator client and go to the People & Groups tab. Select the people to move and then go to People - Move in the tools pane. Enter the server name which you are moving them to and then click OK. Select the folder upi want the databases to end up in and click OK again.

When the mail file is on the new mail server, be sure to open the Administration Requests database (ADMIN4.NSF). Locate the “Approve file deletion” request and approve the request. Exit ADMIN4.NSF.
