Recertify ID issue

Our Notes servers have been recently upgraded from R5 to 6. There a few users who have non-heirarchical ID’s. There have been 2 users, whose Id’s were about to expire. They have followed the instructions and sent the re-certify request. The next time they go back into Notes, their ID’s have changed slightly. This is BEFORE their re-certify request has been acted on. The change is as follows:from User Name

to User Name/

When this happens, they cannot access their Notes as it tells them the specfied item does not exist.

Servers are Heirarchical and running R6. Users database designs have been based on R4 and R5 mail templates, running through a R6 client.

I admit the current setup sounds like a dogs breakfast, but by the same token it sounds like a possible glitch in the request facility for R6 as that is the only common denominator in this whole scenario.

Anybody else had this problem before?

Cheers

Is there any reason that you cannot upgrade the flat users to hierarchical? The recertification tools for hierarchical IDs are much cleaner and easier to use than those for flat IDs.
