Checking the names.nsf database of my Administration Server (Domino 5.0.9). On Names.nsf I found out that the ODS version changed suddenly from ODS 20 to ODS 17, but no changes have be made on the Public Address book. What could cause this problem and how did this happen.
That's not possible, and I find it hard to believe that is for anything other than a template. ODS 20 is 4.x. ODS 17 is 3.x. So, if you are on R5, it should be 40. 20 at worst, but never 17. However, certain templates are still at ODS 20 or 17. Perhaps that's what you saw.
