Notes error: Unable to open Name and Address Book (%s), due to error '%e'. Locations cannot be used until the problem has been corrected

Hello everyone,

I have created an agent that runs every hour on one server. If I run it manually, I get not errors. But if I let it run via schedule, I get this error.

I don’t know precisely which instruction generates this error (I will add some logging), but it’s in a class that tries to open the same DB on another server.

The agent is signed by me, but setup to run under a different name, this name being the one of a fake user (i.e. only use it to have the mail sender name).

Thanks in advance,

Maurice

As far as I am aware scheduled agents cannot access databases on other servers - and thats probably why your agent is failing.

When you run it manually then obviously Notes checks your authority to access the server and so it runs fine.

Not anymore in R6 and up. You can enable this security feature via the server document
