What is the best possible way to merge a 2 domain infrastructure?
Recertify all users/servers with the 1 domain certifier. Cross certification is not a consideration, as the company that has acquired us, will want us to change to their domain, email syntax, etc. For our old email addresses, we could use a email forward, until all are customers are aware of the new email change.
This is new territory to me, so any insight would be much appreciated.

Understand that domains and organizations are two different things. The domain is for messaging while the organization is for security. You could merge domains without recertifying anybody. They would have the old organization still specified in their ID file and in ACLs, etc. But they could be emailed at the new address. But maybe you need to get rid of all traces of the old organization?

Hi Greg,
Thanks for your reply. Yes, the goal is to get rid of all traces of old organization, not just domain change. One Address book, one organization.
The critical part here, is that we are very workflow oriented, using our Notes databases. It’s one thing to utilize adminp, recertifiy servers/users, but it is certainly another thing, to go thru hundreds of applications and recode every instance of a different certifier.
