Moving user to another server using adminp

Subject: Moving user to another server using adminp

Feedback Type: Problem

Product Area: Domino Server

Technical Area: Error Message

Platform: Windows

Release: 8.5.1

Reproducible: Unknown

I just moved a user from one Domino server to another. I've done this many time before with previous releases without any issue. However, with this particular one, everything went well until the last stage when adminp tries to delete the user's mail file on the old server.

First, it couldn't delete it and gives an error message on the server console that the database is in use by you or another user.

A couple of days later, the delete mail file request is marked as failed with the following error message

Title: Administration Requests (R5.0) Path: admin4.nsf; Name: Server1/XYZ/Org; Error: The signer of this request must be the Administration Server of the Domino Directory.

Where Server1 is the administration server of our Domino Directory.

I also found there is a .nrf file (Notes redirection file) for that user's mail file. I've deleted this file but the same error message still comes up when I resubmit the request.

I suppose I can shutdown the Domino server and delete the file from a file system level but I prefer to do it in a 'clean' way.

Any idea, hint, suggestion, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
