RE: Moving servers to different certifiers - easy or a nightmare? ~Mario Lopkistergon 19.Jan.04 05:10 PM a Web browser Domino Administrator 6.5Windows 2000
First you know Notes hierarchy right?
I got this from the help file, but if you look at the name they use Country has it own part of the hierarchy.
CN=Julia Herlihy/OU=Sales/OU=East/O=Acme/C=US.
In your posting here you are putting the country in an organziational unit (OU). Do you want to do that? Also, are you making things more complicated by having the location (Oxford, Flordia, etc) in its own OU? I'd suggest to have the location be part of the server's name. DominoFlordia or Domino-Flordia, etc.
I feel your "can of worms" include you have to construct new trusts (allow the old ones), resigning code with the correct certified ids, allow servers can talk to each other (if they are suppose to), update the ECLs, have the users certified (hope they did not encrypt their mail file or local databases -- there may be a problem or too when the users goes to the new name). Also you are have OU based on locations, but there are some servers in different locations where are at the same level (the server in your location and in Oxford). The risk to me seems big, but if you plan things right it would work.
I also see that you have to get the users educated on what to expect. If you never have done this, then I would say the risk factor is going to be HIGHER. You could offset the risk by testing your changes within a test environment. This would make sure you have not overlook anything.
