I inadvertantly wiped out my R6 Domino Directory template. Can someone tell me where I might be able to find one? This is a test server with no backup whatsoever.
Thank You.

A reinstall or copy is always an obvious solution. Besides that you could maybe try this:
Open an existing directory database based off of the template and try making a new template from the design of that database. Use “File → Database → New Copy”, change the filename to match the name of the template (don’t forget the .ntf extension), copying the design only (i.e. no documents). Then go to the database properties of the new template you just made, check “Design is a template” and give it a template name that matches the template name your source database is expecting. Choose to show it in the catalog, etc., etc. Then load the catalog task and hopefully you’ll be good-to-go.
The only problem with this approach may be with future incremental installers - the checksum for your new template may not match what the installer wants. For example, you may be running 6.0.2, but the installer can’t determine what you’re running because of the now-invalid checksum from the newly-created template.

Thanks Eric - that’s a great idea. I’ll give it a shot.

Hi Paul,
Let me know the exact version you are using, and I can send it to you.
I always keep backup copy of all the templates right after install…
