LO66714: ADMINP RENAME OF USERS FAILS FOR USERS WITH LATVIAN chars
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1LO66714

I am deploying Domino and Active Directory syncronization solution now, and faced one issue that I would like to share.
similar problem described in http://groups.google.com/group/ibm.software.network.directory-integrator/browse_frm/thread/4aa99c9ced7910a1?tvc=1

in my case I just imported SSL certificate into keystore and restarted TDI CE. after that tdi.defaultserver has stopped to launch.
I tried to kill java processed as adviced in mentioned thread, that has not worked for me.

since last change was SSL certificate, I copied to my solution directory "serverapi" folder default keystore from installation directory "testadmin.jks" and server started to start.

Hope this can help somebody. :)

One friend of mine forwarded me link about deduplication in Microsoft, sorry  right word would be DUPLICATION system in Exchange. :) (see below)
I wonder if all companies are worried and work hard to enable deduplication, Microsoft is just documenting its duplication of data.... :)
I doubt that it will cause +20% of data, real number should be more close to 50% ...

I am happy that even more and more customers move from MS to Lotus, in our country NONE customers moved away from Lotus in last two years.  Country is not big, but nevertheless.
And just during december our company migrated several companies including some banks migrated from Exchange to Lotus !!!!

No Single Instance Storage (SIS) In Exchange 2010…

The store schema in 2010 has been given a big change and as a result of the new store architecture, Exchange 2010 no longer supports Single Instance Storage (SIS). This means that when you send a 1mb attachment to 50 users within the same database, the size of the database will grow by 50mb. In previous versions of exchange, the attachment is only stored once and all recipients get a pointer to the actual attachment from which it opens. Hence the database only increases in size by 1mb.

With the removal of SIS from 2010, the exchange product group estimates an increase in database size of upto 20%. This has to be considered when designing a 2010 environment. As the Extensible Storage Engine (ESE) is optimized for handling large (10Gb+) mailboxes in 2010, the 20% increase in storage is not a big deal considering that you don’t need expensive RAID solutions if you have a DAG with 3+ copies of your database. Plus the hard drives are getting bigger and cheaper these days!

During my last visit to US, I become a happy owner of Macbook Pro :)
Lotus Notes client is available for Mac,it is ok.  But not Designer and Admin. Virtual machine or Terminal server is nice option, but still not so flexible solution.

Concerning Administrator, I have a wild idea, What if ? :) Create just a composite application and bring at least 80% of Admin tasks to this application?
Lets make small analysis:

* People And Groups  -> Names.nsf Views with some actions. Majory of actions is a miniform, or AdminP request.
* People and Groups -> Policies and Settings :)  view again :)
Even password reset in ID Vault will work, since can be done via API / LotusScript.

* Files -> we can get List of all database (NotesDBDirectory class) and make needed changes with LotusScript. (Quitas, Console commands like compact, etc).
* Server Status - Post commands to server, :)   seems to be easy, Out Put also should be easy, LIVE console... hm... need to thing a bit.
* Server Tasks - can be done as well.
* Messaging - > Mainly views from server/system databases and console commands.
* Replication -> views, map?
* Configuration -> again mainly Views from Domino Directory.

if application is done via configuration documents like below,  then we make it damn flexible. you can customize your favourite commands for tasks.  (like compact is done with you favourite parameters)
Traveler task -> Possible commands "Tell Traveler quit","tell Traveler restart" "tell traveler defrag " "tell traveler version"
Compact task -> Possible commands "compact -c", DAOS enabling right way, LZ1 then DAOS

You can tune NSF Admin (lets call this app this way) to show commands and tasks you need.



Who pays the bill??? Why it is needed to bring Designer and Admin to Mac? I think bringing Designer to mac, will make it more popular between students, and in US where MACs were always more popular than in other regions. We will get more apps in future, Lotus community will get new minds,new people,  not spoiled by Coffin making technologies, that are oriented to RIP documents in MS systems.

May be somebody already done something like this?  How do you register people? Lotus Admin, or Custom application? How do you Sync you Cluster? Manual commands or Application again?

My RSS feed read focused my attention on one IBM technote.

Using Smart Upgrade to install Notes components on Windows
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21576829&myns=swglotus&mynp=OCSSKTWP&mync=R

Now we can use SmartUpgrade to add Sametime or some other Widgets.

It would be nice to have feature to DOWNGRADE ALLClients installation to Just_client as well. Very often I see environments, we people from ALL_CLIENT_INSTALL install just client, all over the organization.

Lotusphere 2012 registration is opened. Conference will be held from 15.01.2012-19.01.2012, 4 magic days in Disney ... oh... IBM Conference in Orlando, Florida.

Lotusphere call for abstracts is opened yesterday http://lotusphereblog.com/blog/lotusphere.nsf/dx/lotusphere-2012-call-for-abstracts-is-open
if some one from Latvia is planning to go to Lotusphere, let me know about this, so we can arrange trip together. :)

I had strange problem on one customer site, one user had iPhone and iPad, and iPad was unable to connect, while iphone was ok.
in webserver logs, iPAD showed 403 error (now allowed even authenticated).

Lotustraveler.nsf had only one record, of iPhone. hm... strange...

I know that Traveler uses CloudScape (small db) for keeping all user data, somehow it become out of sync with lotustraveler.nsf
several restarts has not synched lotustraveler.nsf and cloudScape db.

issue was fixed by this command.
tell traveler security flagsRemove all ApplDN6G8BUXXXX CN=Vlaad/O=CYONE

where ApplDN is Apple identifier, you can find under Genereal ->About
for Nokia it will be IMEI code...

hope this post can save time to someone. :)

Often when we need to show Proof of Concept, we do setup working Domino (actually any software)  on Microsoft Windows.
Of course Linux is better ;) since it is more preferred OS for Domino.

But in case you run you pilot on Windows 7, you can extend 30day trial of Windows, 3 times, in total to 120days!!!

The trick is to run Command, right click RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR, then type
slmgr -rearm
restart Windows and it is back again to 30day trial :)
repeat this step in 30 days again,
