Trying to virtualise a Windows Server 2000 running Lotus Domino Server 5.0

Jammydodger9999 — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 12:41:51 +0000

Hello,

Our organisation has a very old legacy app running under Domino 5.0 on a Dell Server on Windows 2000 Server. It is totally read-only, and just has to be there for cross-reference. Ideal solution is to virtualise onto our Vsphere platform. Made several attempts using VMware Standalone Converter 4.x and 3.03. Conversion always successful, but when the virtual server comes up and the Domino Server starts, we get the following message in the console, and none of the clients can connect.

[strong]10/08/2011 17:17:11 Server started on Physical Node XXXXXX[/strong]

[strong]10/08/2011 17:17:11 error on listen function: NETBIOS unit/lana number specified in NOTES.INI is not valid on this system or a network is not started[/strong]

Message repeats a number of times, then

[strong]10/08/2011 17:17:11 Listener task for port LAN0ip is suepending for 20 seconds due to listen errors[/strong]

[strong]10/08/2011 17:17:11 Router: Unable to obtain Internet Host and domain names [/strong]

The startup completes , but the users are unable to connect.

We have no Notes/Domino expertise on site, but we do have Windows/VMware/networking skills .We are guessing it is related to the network hardware changing and that Notes/Domino needs to be told somehow (NOTES.INI ?) . Please can anyone help with some simple troubleshooting steps/best way forward. each time we have done this we have had to roll back to the physical server, most frustrating !!

Thanks & Regards

Ports used in Domino 5 replication

Gurparsad — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 10:28:18 +0000

Hi
I want to know the Ports used in Domino 5 replication between two servers. There is a firewall between two Domino servers so which ports should be open so that these servers can replicate.

Thanks

Lotus Administrator

I work for a mom & pop business and the IT manager left and now I’m suddenly responsible for an old Lotus r5 Domino server.

I do not have ACL access to 95% of NSF files in directory. He erased himself from all ACLs, so I cannot even ask him for password and log on as him to give myself access to anything.

Now, I have the certifier ID and password. I can get into the Administrator panel. But on some NSF files, I get a message saying I’m not authorized to get in, and on others, when I click to manage ACL, it just doesn’t do anything.

I kind of need to be able to add/deny users.

I can’t seem to find a generic administrator.ID file.

Is there a way to create a new administrator.ID file since I have the certifier ID/password?

Thanks

Email still forwarding after user has been deleted

JaneDi — Tue, 23 Oct 2007 10:52:25 +0000

A user had forwarding set up on their address book entry. Sunsequently the user was deleted from the Address Book. After they were deleted the email continues to forward. I need to stop this forwarding.

I have tried recreating & deleting the user without the forwarding enabled.
