Hi,

My company has recently changed with new name. Exm: from ABC to XYZ.

Now I want to change Domino domain with new name which should include domain documents, server documents, end user addresses, connection documents and other details. Mainly we don't want to see old name anywhere in domino environment.

Could you please suggest with best practices.

Thanks & Regards,

AR

Suggestion

Do off hours when no email is flowing

Replicate all nabs to one server and run a simple agent on each doc type to change the domain field

Replicate changes to all servers

You will need to restart each server for domain to take.

 

You need to send out a button to each user to change the location docs in the personal nab to change the domain field and possible person docs.

 

Do you have any apps that might contain the old domain name? Those will need to be changed as well

 

Here is  a technote http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21089340

 One thing I always did when merging domains was to setup a Foreign Domain document for the old domain.   That way if people did a reply to or never ran the button for the person doc/location doc cleanup the emails will go into the database specified in the foreign domain doc.   You can create a agent that takes the docs in that db and modifies the 5 fields (sendto, copyto, blinkcopyto, from and recipients ) and writes the doc into the mail.box and marks the doc fixed (new field)
