Rename Server

Hi,

Is there an easy way of renaming a notes server and all databases under 6.5. Reason why I am asking is because our server name consists of an underscore, and we are being refused mail by servers that do a reverse dns lookup. Any thoughts,pointers would be greatly appreciated.

If this is an option, you may reduce your impact by setting up an SMTP server and route mail through that server. We have our servers setup with an inbound smtp server and an outbound smtp server. If not, your impact would be pretty great to everyone using the server(s).

Thanks for your response.

I was looking at maybe using admin requests Find Name feature and then doing individual clients (weekend job), but I need more info on Find Name feature. Or I may be going up the wrong pipe.

It sounds like you need the “Decommision Server” command to help you. Take a look at that. I recently had to move 120 mail boxes to another server. I created a button to do this. The code behind the button looked like this.@Command([WindowWorkspace]);

@Command([AddDatabase];“”:“”);

@Command([FileDatabaseRemove]);

@Command([WindowWorkspace]);

@Command([FileOpenDatabase];“”:“”);

@Command([FileCloseWindow]);

@Prompt([Ok];“Hooray!!!”;“Your icon is now pointing to the correct server. Thank you for your time”)

Hope this helps
