Lotus ADSync - User Registration

HCL Domino Domino Forum
1

I had set up an AD server & Domino server recently to test the Lotus ADSync tool. I’m facing a problem when register user in AD server where the Notes mail file was not created in the Domino Data/Mail directory. The user register in AD had been successfully sync over to the Domino Directory, yet the mail file was not created.

When check on the Domino console during the user registration process in AD, i can see that the mail file was created by the Admin account and then deleted by the Admin account again after few second.

Any idea?

Subject: log.nsf on the client

Did you look in log.nsf in the client? That might provide you more information. A corrupted NTF sometimes has caused this issue in the past. Are you using the default registration policy settings or have you modified them? How have you modified them? Are you trying to set mail quotas and are you at least a DB admin on the mail server?

I have no problem when register the Notes user using Domino Administrator (The mail file was created successfully).

I’m using customized Registration Policy.

The customized part involve the User Registration option, Password options, Mail User Registration options, Internet Address option, Location for Storing User ID.

There’s no quota set for the mail file.

Subject: Add Admin to ACL

Hi,

looks like a access problem.

Is your admin/msb allowed to create databases?

Add [admin/MSB] or [locadomainadmins] with Manager Access in the ACL of your mail template and test it again.

Subject: ACL in Mail Template doesn’t help

I had “*/MSB” for the Create Databases & Templates field in the Server Document. The locadomainadmins already in the ACL list, and i did add in Admin/MSB into the ACL as Manager. Yet this didn’t help. The Mail db still deleted after a while it was created. Any idea?

Sorry, but I asked about the log on the client not the server. ADsync is a client install. Events can be logged during the registration process. If they are they may provide more information.
