the console error:Configuration Error: Server record not found. The Server Name in ID file [server/org], does not match any Server found in the Domino Directory in the ($Locations) view.

Resolving the problem

Replace the design of the name and address book to pubnames.ntf and make sure the template files exist on the new server.

So I replace the names.nsf use pubnames.ntf.

and I restart the server but cann’t start again.

Replace the NAB will definetly help. I tested in my environment and its worked…

Subject: To change server name works for me

I just change server name to [server/org] and it works OK. For some reason server name was set to [server].

Just a detail:

I couldn’t change the names.nsf using Lotus Notes as it says “cannot write or create file file or disk is read-only”.

In order to do this I had to make a copy of names.nsf in another location (operative system copy) and change the server name in that location using lotus notes, then replace the original names with this one and it worked OK for me.

The key for me was the error message:

“The Server Name in ID file [server/org], does not match any Server found in the Domino Directory in the ($Locations) view”

I just open the ($Locations) view and notice that the server name item (the first column) was what the server was looking for.

Subject: Check the names.nsf for…

A Server Document & Configuration Document for the Server mentioned in the Error message.

Subject: the server configuration cann’t show

the server document & configuration cann’t show and show the wrong index message

Subject: After replacing design…

On the Local Copy you have of the names.nsf, open it using your Lotus Administrator client & check for the Server Configuration Document. If it doesn’t exist, you could consider moving the Users & Data off of that Server onto a New Server:

Subject: Had similar issue

I had similar issue after upgrade to 8.5.2 on a Windows 2003 Server

I did the following steps and the server came back.

  1. Replaced the names.nsf with a backup copy (luckily I had a recent backup)

  2. Started the Domino server. The server started normally

Thanks,
