i have a lotus domino server release 8.0.2 running on windows server 2003. I wish to install lotus domino release 8.5 onto a new server, but wish to use a new OU name, new server.id, new certifier.id, BUT use the old mail files of my users.
i don’t know if it is possible for me to use the old ids again, or create new users on same server, and use the old mail files (nsf).
i do now wish to do stuff like replication, nor stuffs like using the old notes.ini & cert.id & server.id.
I want to start afresh, but with old nsf files od users.
Subject: As long as you have not enabled local encryption for the mail files on the Domino Server
You should be able to re-use them just fine…
I believe you can first disable encryption on the old server but don’t have all the details on how to do that, before you copy the files to the new server. I believe once you disable local encryption you will need to do a copy style (-c) compact of the database and then it should be safe to move to a new server…
