Hi,
My company has recently changed with new name. Exm: from ABC to XYZ.
Now I want to change Domino domain with new name which should include domain documents, server documents, end user addresses, connection documents and other details. Mainly we don’t want to see old name anywhere in domino environment.
Could you please suggest with best practices.
Thanks & Regards,
AR
Subject: Suggestion
Do off hours when no email is flowing
Replicate all nabs to one server and run a simple agent on each doc type to change the domain field
Replicate changes to all servers
You will need to restart each server for domain to take.
You need to send out a button to each user to change the location docs in the personal nab to change the domain field and possible person docs.
Do you have any apps that might contain the old domain name? Those will need to be changed as well
Here is a technote http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21089340 http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21089340
One thing I always did when merging domains was to setup a Foreign Domain document for the old domain. That way if people did a reply to or never ran the button for the person doc/location doc cleanup the emails will go into the database specified in the foreign domain doc. You can create a agent that takes the docs in that db and modifies the 5 fields (sendto, copyto, blinkcopyto, from and recipients ) and writes the doc into the mail.box and marks the doc fixed (new field)

Hi Barry,
Thanks for your inputs. Could you please explain a little bit more as I want to move my certificates from ABC to XYZ domain as well. Ex: Server1/ABC to Server1/XYZ and users certifiers aswell.
Also, could you please provide the script which really helps me.

The admin process is used for the re-certification’s of the user id. Make sure all the nab has a admin server specified and is replication correctly. I would suggest doing the domain name and server names (certifer change) and then tackle the users process.
