Notes query hint necessary

Dear all

don’t ask me why but we have the following requirement. We need to analyze the personal address books of all our Notes clients and figure out if a special text string has been used in the fullname attribute…

Any recommendation how we can automate this with a script or a program calling a powerful API?

Thanks in advance. Every support is highly appreciated.

Regards

Is contact sync turned on. If so you can search thru the contacts in the users mail file.

If not you can email all the users a stored from/button that will go against the local names.nsf and run the query and report back to a mail address the results

If you need to run it and the names.nsf are on a network drive you can write code to scan the drive for names.nsf and do it that way.

Thanks in advance.
