I have a question on compact task.The compact task have scheduled on each night 02:00 the command is [compact -a -B mail]. This task is fine can run base on schedule.
But I found compact tas will auto start at each Tuesday 12:00PM.
How can I stop this task and why the task will run automatically.
Please feel free to advise

do a “show sched” prior to Tuesday to see if is still schedule.
If it is schedule than a program document has it enabled. Otherwise I would check the NT AT scheduling or if there is an agent which issued the command via the session. R6 lotus script agents can do console commands.

Thank you for your advise. I have check the [show sched result] with our program document. The schedule is match.
I will recheck the schedule on coming Tuesday.

We are having the same problem using 6.0.3. Our Domino Directory was created using R5 and we kept the same data when we upgreded to ND6. We did not see this problem during our testing of ND6 when we used a fresh directory.
Was your Domnino Directory upgreded from R5 or was it created in ND6?

Hi Roark,
You are right. Our server is upgrade from R5.
Now I try to change the Archiving setting on names.nsf as following :
01 - Change [Configuration] → [Policies] → [Settings]
02 - Change [Archiving will be performed on] to [User’s Workstation]
03 - Change [Schedule] tag setting
04 - Change default schedule from [Tue ] to [Sun]
05 - Unchecked the [Enable client based scheduled archiving]
06 - Save the setting
07 - Change [Archiving will be performed on] back to [Server]
08 - Save the setting again
I am not sure the setting is correct or not. Please feel free to try.

I get the same problem, and have been having this issue ever since upgrading to a 6 version. I have recently removed all policy documents, then installed 6.5.1 from scratch (as an additional server so it got the directory from another server), but it hasn’t fixed it!! Have you had any luck Sam?

I am answering my own posting - techie nerd or what!!Reading the logs, I saw that only certain mail files were archiving. Database properties/archive settings, they were set to archive locally on the server!! Going to advanced, they had a schedule of Tuesday at midday.
I manually reset each mail file, and am now re-introducing polices which I hope will now work properly since I have the latest version of Domino. Fingers crossed.

Hi Mike, did you ever get a good resolution? I have four people out of 30000 that compact tries to run automatically every week on Tuesdays 12:00 pm. It always ends up crashing the client with 300 plus Notes instances. We don’t allow archiving, so it fails. We are using policies to deny archiving. I have tried deleting their archive profiles, changing to another profile, you name it, I have tried it. The most success was a couple of weeks without it. Then we had a NAB corruption and “it’s back”. Any ideas?
