We are upgrading from Domino 7.0.1 to Domino 8.5. However, we have problems with the Lotus Domino Service. This service wil not start. In the Windows Services I van see: started but after some seconds, it is stopped. I can’t get the console by opening the Lotus Domino Console-shortcut.The OS is MS Windows 2008 server 64 bit, Domino is 8.6, 32 bit.
We can only run Domino as a Windows Application.
I have tried to upgrade using IBM documentation about upgrading from 7.0x to 8.5.
Some IBM guru’s are busy with this issue (from March 23, 2009) but in the meanwhile i want to test some situations by myself.
I want to install a fresh new server and look if it will run oke. But how can I “import” the data, mailfiles etc from my old server?
I know that, when configuring the new server, I can user existing server.id, cert.id and admin.id.
But after the server-setup, can I simply copy first and additional addressbooks (names.nsf and names_sec.nsf) to the data directory. Also the contents if the directory \data\mail?
Has anyone tried this before?
Will I met problems regarding certificaton?
Thanks is advance
