We just upgraded to the Notes 8.0.2 client. Is there an automated way to upgrade the local names.nsf to the version 8 template? The upgraded pernames.ntf already exists in the users’ data directory.
Subject: names.nsf
When you upgrade to a new release, the local bookmark.nsf and names.nsf apps will be upgraded automatically to use the latest installed template.
To manually replace design at any time: open names.nsf and select File - Application - Replace Design, select “Personal Address Book” as the template.
(If you don’t see Replace Design on the menu, select View - Advanced Menus first.)
Subject: Not Upgrading Automatically
Thanks for your response, however, the local files are not upgrading automatically, which is why I posted this question. We are running Notes through Citrix.
The client is upgraded on the Citrix server. Each user’s local “data” files are located in his/her home drive. The files are not upgrading.
Any thoughts?

Hi Sheila,
If you have access(Via a network drive) to the names.nsf, you could do a mass replace design on each names.nsf.
You need a source and a destination and loop through all your username’s share
just fill in the info.
templateserver$ : Where is your master template?
templatename$ : What is the name of your template?
dbserver$ : Destination server where is located your db design to replace? \MyNetWorkDrive\UserName
dbfilepath$ : File path to your destination db.
Sub ReplaceDesign(templateserver$, templatename$, dbserver$, dbfilepath$)

Hi Sheila
You could check the TemplateSetup line in your Notes.ini.
It’s similar to this problem Link
or use a little app to do it for you
