Hi,
As per my post dated 5Dec07, We are in the process of renaming our production servers from “P1/Server/CNT” to “P1/Server/MPD”.
Inoder to perform the above, I have analysed the following tasks/activities to be performed :
- Changing the name of the server in the ACL of the databases.
For this , I have created an agent which scans the ACL and changes the name of the server ( if found ).
- Deleting the existing workspace icons for the users on their clients. This has to be done because these icons are opened on the old server. And then , opening the same workspace icons on the new server ( name changed server ).
For this , I have downloaded the DSKTOOL available and provided by IBM itself. Plz find the link : http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=475&context=SSKTWP&q1=DSKTool&uid=swg24004260&loc=en_US&cs=utf-8&lang=en
Though the site says , that the tool has to be run on the client , I was trying to run it from the server. This has been accomplished by :
A) Installing the tool - dsktool.exe and the text file - rename.txt on the same path on the server.
B) Creating a batch file which would execute the tool from the server.
The batch file consists of the following DOS command :
@echo off
start /wait /b \10.113.49.153\db\dsktool.exe \10.113.49.153\db\rename.txt -I -V
C) Running the batch file from users client machine.
However , when I run this batch file it gives an error :
“the application has failed to start because nnotes.dll was not found.Re-installing the aplication may fix this problem”.
I am using
Notes Client 7 and Domino Server 6.5.5 server.
- We are also renaming our Administration server from “H1/Server/CNT” to “H1/Server/MPD”.
Now , we see that the name of the Adminstration server also exists in the “Advanced” tab of the ACL of the database.
My set of questions are :
Any ideas regarding the implementation of the tool mentioned in point 2. Why am I facing the particular error ?
For point 3, the questions are :
3.1. Once the Administration server has been renamed, is there a way we can change the name of the Administration server in the Advanced tab of the ACL automatically ?
3.2. Is there any process which does this automatically , after and once our Administration server has been renamed.
3.3. Can we do this by script/agent etcc ?
Any point on the above questions to enlighten us ?
Moreover , Am I missing something as a result of server renaming ?
Thanks,
Meggie.
