Space in Server Name

HCL Domino Domino Forum

Hello,

A server in our domain has a space in its name, because of which we see the below messages being poured continously all the time 24X7

Assume that the server name is “Domino One/Lotus”

so the messages that appear a zillion times are like below:

-Unable to replicate with server Domino/Lotus: Connection denied. The server you connected to has a different name from the one requested.

-Unable to replicate with server One/Lotus: Connection denied. The server you connected to has a different name from the one requested.

It is replicating with all servers just fine.

Can anyone suggest what it is trying to do? Thanks.

Well, I figured this one.

The event task was responsible for throwing those messages, by virtue of a proble document in DDM.nsf database. I put the quotes around the CN part of the server name which had the space in the $vwStatus view and the issue was resolved. Thanks.

Subject: Server naming rules

From Admin Help: “On [protocol] TCP/IP, use only the characters 0 through 9, A through Z, and - (dash)”. You should rename the server to remove the space.
