Updating database links in Desktop.dsk Notes 4.5.7g 1

[jhem99]

We are moving 400 users from one Notes server to anotherneed to update every database link on each user's "desktop.dsk" file.
Can this be achieved with a script instead of manually having to do it?

Hello,

You could add some Lotus script (see below) to a button and send it to your users before the change (action button before leaving for the day). This would change the users current location document to point o the new server (need to modify xxx entries).

You can also take it one step further and script a button that builds a new location document with the new settings. Not sure how this will rok in R4, it's been years since I touched it.

Sub Click(Source As Button)
Dim session As New NotesSession
Call session.SetEnvironmentVar( "MailServer",
"CN=xxx/OU=xxx/OU=xxx/O=xxx" )
End Sub

Rgds,

John

they've got a tool called DMT that does that.

It updates the user's location document(s), adds connection documents for the new server, if necessary, and updates all database icons to point to the new server.
