Scripts to perform maintenance

So I have been asked if there was a way we could script things within domino to be done without actually having to manually go through the process.

Such as, when a user needs to have their certificate recertified, the help desk would be able to click a button that we give them which would have a script written behind it that would automatically fix this and recertify the user.

I am not very knowledgable in lotus script but didn’t know if this was anything that could even be done or if there was some sort of tool out there that was able to automate some of the day to day tasks.

Thanks ahead of time.

DomainPatrol is an OpenSource application that has a lot of administrative functions available.

There you can use the functions and also look at the code.

It might be a good starting point to find examples with code.

There are obviously a lot of tasks that can be automated with LotusScript, if you can define the task closely enough to recognize the areas where human judgment is not required.

It looks like there is a Recertify method in the NotesRegistration class, so it should be possible. Look at the Domino Designer help and the examples of these classes and methods.
