QUESTION POSED ON: 15 November 2004
I am trying to test swapping over two servers in preparation for migrating from R5 to R6. However, there is a problem with the notes.ini -- each time the servername field is updated in the notes.ini file when the server is restarted it reverts back to the old .ini data and the swap is not working. Can you advise?

I'm not sure where it would take the old .ini data from if you are using the correct ID file and have also modified the notes.ini. The ID should rule all in this case. Perhaps there is a registry key you can change, but I am not aware of one.

MEMBER FEEDBACK TO THIS ASK THE EXPERT Q&A:

For this case, the problem might have been generated in the serverkeyfilename field. I think the names.nsf contains a configuration document which specified the serverkeyfilename in the notes.ini variable
