What is the best way to remove a designer/admin’s name from the NAB? We have over 200 databases on our server that have his signature. (ie. scheduled agents, etc.) Do I need to resign everything before deleting the person doc?
Please advise.

I may have a utility application that can help you out. It does a couple of things:
1.) deletes a user from the NAB –
a.) Deletes the person document.
b.)Mail file(s), it can only delete the mail file(s) on
servers’ not local replicas.
2.) Can remove a user from the ACL’s and from groups but only at one level (e.g. it will not recursive into groups of groups to remove the user).
3.) Can find all notes items (e.g. agents, forms, views etc…) that are signed by a specified user and unsign or resign them with a different ID.
All three tasks have the ability to report before acting (e.g. the delete user task can search for the user and report back where the person document is located and where the mail files are located or the remove from ACL’s task can report back all the ACL’s the user is in).
If you are interested let me know and I will see if I can find the app.

“Do I need to resign everything before deleting the person doc?”
Absolutely. As soon as you delete him, all his access goes away, and the agents start failing.
This is a good reason to have system ID’s, or sign with the server ID, once anything is put into production. Otherwise you end up with this maintenance nightmare down the road when someone leaves.

Yep, I figured as much… Ok, is there a way to mass sign databases? I am looking in Administrator, can I just select all my databases and sign them?
Signed,
Not a happy camper

Yes, assuming the signer id has rights to all the selected .nsfs
