Notes problem

Gamblor

ok I just want to know if i'm right here .
2 domains one running Notes Domino Server the other isn't however it is using notes.
I've got 5 of the 10 systems connectedf however the other half wont' even when they are brought into the 1st domain. I think it's a licence issue, but my problem is.
1. How do i KNOW it's a licence issue ?
2. how would i fix it ?
3. is there a problem with notes between domains ?????


THanks

P.S. I think Hobbes your the man !!!

Check ur mail. Point 3 though there is no problem that I'm aware of. Set up notes to use TCP/IP and if it's a DNS issue set up connection documents in the clients.

Actually I just remembered something which may be your problem.


Server1.. Domain DOMAIN1
Server2.. Domain DOMAIN2

Now by default some in Domain2 cannot access the server Domain1

So if "User/DOMAIN2" tried to access DOMAIN1 they would get the message...

"You are not authorised to access this server"

So you have to tell the servers that they are allowed to connect.


1. Get an ID from Domain2, bring it to the server (anyones will do).

2. Erm, run the server manager and there should be a "cross certify certificate" (think that's it). It should be the one that asks for an ID file.

3. Once you done that, a dialog pops up with an option to certify "USER/DOMAIN2", select that list and select only the Domain name then click ok.

4. After that, anyone with that domain ID can connect to the server. You will still have to set the ACL settings in the DB's.


Not great help, I'm assuming you know what your doing anyway

I've tried everything and it still won't work
It doesn't seem to be a licence issue, i can ping the servers by both DNS name and ip addy, yet notes still can't find a pth to the servers !!!!!

strange or wha !!!!

From my old days dealing with notes, it was a tcp/ip thing, just changed it too look at the ip on the client, mostly happened on 2/3 fresh installs.

as hobbes said above..

Actually Ronin, Gamblor may be correct. There was a bug in NT SP6 (or was it 5? I forget) which seemed to *accidently* mess up Notes. Basically the only way to get around it was to give everyone admin access to your server.

I guess you should of mentioned what Service pack? Actually I think Service Pack 6a will fix the problem. I have a 4.6 server running at my desk on NT4 SP6a with no problems.

Otherwise if it says "Server not responding", then it's because Notes can't see the server. Set up a connection document or correctly DNS your server with the DOMAIN name of your Notes server (create an alias if you have to).

If after that it says "You are not authorised to use this server" then do the Cert thingy I mentioned eariler.

I see WWMan using his years of experience on tech support to help.

SP6 had the problem, 6a fixed it

and

Notes sucks, it really really really sucks
