I'm asking an admin expert whether there's a more proper way to delete a server to avoid this situation

HCL Notes/Domino 8.5 Forum (includes Notes Traveler)

Subject:

but meanwhile, I note that there's a function in library "nnotes.dll" as follows:

STATUS far PASCAL ClientRenameServer(const char *pOldServerName, const char *pNewServerName, PFNWKSMSGPROCESSNOW Proc);

which you can easily call from LotusScript using these declarations:

Declare Function win_ClientRenameFilenameData Lib "nnotes.dll" Alias "ClientRenameFilenameData" (ByVal OldPath As LMBCS String, ByVal NewPath As LMBCS String, ByVal Proc As Long) As Integer
Declare Function mac_ClientRenameFilenameData Lib "libnotes.dylib" Alias "ClientRenameFilenameData" (ByVal OldPath As LMBCS String, ByVal NewPath As LMBCS String, ByVal Proc As Long) As Integer

and calling the appropriate one based on the value returned by @Platform.

This should replace the old server name with a new name you specify in users' bookmarks. So at least you can send everyone an email saying "please click this button" with the code in it to fix the problem for all servers you've deleted at any point. Still not ideal, but I'll let you know if I learn of something better.
