Encrypted DAOS items archive

Hi,

We have 2 DAOS enabled Domino Servers. One mail server and one archive server. Users archive their e-mails to Domino archive server with domino archiving features.

When we implemented DAOS on these servers unfortunately the DAOS was encrypted. The users can’t open a lot of attachments in archive databases after archive. I think they were encrypted by ID of mail server.

We disabled the DAOS encryption in every Domino server but we can’t still open a lot of attachments in archive databases. We got this one of many failure message: Excel cannot open the file because the file format or file extension not valid (other failure message for example: mswrd632 convert can’t run). Excel and Word can display only very strange characters.

But it doesn’t happen every time. Only some attachment.

Does everyone have idea why can’t open some attachments? Is it due to the first encrypt? If the answer is “yes” how can I decrypt every nlo in DAOS of mail server? Can the server ID of archive server decrypt the old encrypt nlo files of mail server?

Subject: Is it a Lotus BUG?

I think it is a Lotus BUG.

If I create a new replica with Administrator v8.5.1 Client the attachments of replica database will be unusable.

If I do it with Administrator v7.0.2 Client the attachments of replica database will be OK.

Some of the attachments of new replica item will become unusable after domino scheduled replica feature had run.

I have installed 8.5.1 Fix Pack 1 Interim Fix 1 on secondary server but it didn’t solved the problem.

How can I solve the problems of archive databases?

How can I repair this Lotus BUG?
