28.how will set the web mail?

29.basic admin question like id creation & certify? Server id30.content of user id?

i dont know if u know the ans thn pls tell us...........

1.What is difference between replica & new copy?

Replica is a copy of database which having the same replica ID which share during the replication process And new copy is a simpale copy of database which don't have any replica

ID and further u cannot replicate from it's original database

2.What is different type of administrator?

Full access administrator -- gets all rights and privileges of all administration access levels listed.

Administrator -- gets all rights and privileges of database administrator and full-console administrator (but not system administrator).

Full console administrator -- gets rights and privileges of view-only console administrator (but not system administrator)

System administrator -- gets rights and privileges of restricted system administrator

3.If user forgot his password how will recover the password?

If you have recovery information set up for your user ID on your server The recovery password is randomly generated and unique

to each recoverable ID file and administrator.When you first log in to Notes and the Password dialog box appears,

2 do not enter your password. Just click OK.3. Click "Recover Password" in the "Wrong password" dialog box.

4. Select the user ID file to recover in the "Choose ID File to Recover" dialog box.5. Enter the password(s) given to you by your administrator(s) in the "Enter Passwords" dialog box, and repeat until you have entered all of the passwords, and you are prompted to enter a

new password for your user ID.6. Enter a new password for your ID, and confirm the password when prompted

4.What is ODS version of R5 & R6 & R7?

File ext.-----version-------ODS--?-------------V3-------17 .ns4,.nsf-------V4-------20 .nsf------------V5-------41 .nsf------------v6-------43.nss------------v7-------43

from verson 5 lotus support >4GB size, transaction logging, in-place compaction

5.What type of replication?

Pull PullPull Push (default)

Pull OnlyPush Only

6.When will set the pull type of replication in server?

Forces a one-way replication from the specified server to your server. replicate a single database from the specified server to your server we are using pull command by including the

database name on the command line

7.What will do if server get hang?

It’s very difficult to take a single step There are so many reason to get server hang . either ur mail.box is corrupt or there are some

hardware issue u can check log file and analyze ur problem and try to resolve it

8.basic router command?

Tell Router Delivery Stats--- it will Shows you Router delivery statistics.

Tell Router Compact-------Compacts MAIL.BOX and cleans up open Router queues. You can use this command to compact MAIL.BOX at any time. If more than one MAIL.BOX is configured for the server, each MAIL.BOX database will be compacted in sequence.

By default, MAIL.BOX is automatically compacted at 4 AM.

Tell Router Show Queues------Shows mail held in transfer queues to specific servers and mail held in the local delivery queue

Tell Router Exit or Tell Router Quit-----Stops the Router task on a server.

Tell Router Update Config-------Updates the server's routing tables to immediately modify how messages are routed. This removes the 5 minute delay before a Router configuration change

takes effect

9.What is parameter of notes.ini?There are a number of parameters in Lotus Domino's notes.ini configuration file that affect ...

For example, these are the server task entries in notes.ini: ServerTasks=Update,Replica,Router,AMgr,AdminP,CalConn,Sched

ServerTasksAt1=Catalog,DesignServerTasksAt2=UpdAll

ServerTasksAt3=Object Info -FullServerTasksAt5=Statlog

for better info:-http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/Redbooks.nsf/RedbookAbstracts/tips0421.html?Open

10.How internal & external Mail routing work? Give with example?

When user send a mail NRPC(Notes protocols) to deposit the message into the MAIL.BOX database on the user's Domino mail server.The Router finds the message in MAIL.BOX and

determines where to send the message for each recipient. The Router checks its routing table to calculate the next "hop" for the message on the path to its recipients and determines the

appropriate protocol -- either SMTP or Notes routing -- to transfer the message.

Using SMTP routing, the Router connects to the destination server -- the recipient's mail server, a relay host, a smart host, or one of the servers in the recipient's Internet domain --

and transfers the message.

Using Notes routing, the Router moves the message to the MAIL.BOX database on the server that is the next hop in the path to the recipient's mail server. The Router on that server

transfers the message to the next hop, until the message is deposited in the MAIL.BOX database on the recipient's home server.The Router on the recipient's server finds the message (in MAIL.BOX on a Domino server) and delivers it to the recipient's mail file

Interview Question With Answer --2

6) what is ECL and can we implement the ECL from server side.

Ans: An ECL is used to set up workstation data security.It lets you control which formulas and scripts created by another user can run on your workstation.Yes workstation ECL is

updated/Implement from Server Admin's ECL by creating a Security policy document.

7) can we make the HUB server from spoke server.

( Like ADC - DC & Vice Versa )

8) what is difference between Manager & designer access.The major diff between designer and manager access is manager can edit ACL (execution

control List) entry but designer can not modify ACL entry 9) how many types of policy.

Ans: 1. Organizational 2. Explicit

10) one group which are allready exist, if we want to deploy the explicit policy on them what is the step.

Ans: Select group->select groups from Tool panes->click assign policy.(An Explicit policy always override the Organisational policy...see by Policy synopsis)

11) how we take the lotus server backup.

Ans: Backup files: All ID files(Servers/Users),All Database(Data folder->NSF+NTF

Some Interview question with answer

1) what is the registration server.

Ans: A server which registers new users,server,OU and Organisation and initially stores these document in the Domino directory untill the replicate

untill the next replication occures.

2) what is the administration server.

Ans: An Administration server controls how the Administration process does its work.It stores the requested work in the

administration request database and then process them accordingly to their status.By default first server in the domino

domain is the Admin server for the Domino directory which maintains its ACL, performs deletion,name change and

replicate to the other server in the DNN.

3) what is the difference between registration & administration server.

Ans: 1. Both Def.2. Registration Server maintains the Names.nsf database while Admin server maintains the

Admin4.nsf database.3. By default there is one primary Admin server w.r.t. Hub-Spoke topology wheres as

registration server can be more than one in a domain.

4) what is the administration process.

Ans: The Admin process is a program which automates many routine administrative tasks such as Name management task(Rename/delete user and group),Mail file management

task(Delete/Move mail file,ACL chages,Enabling agents),Replica management task(Create/Move/Delete replicas).

5) how do work administration process in background.

Ans: Adminp works in background with the help of differents components like AdminP server Task(Starts by default on all server starts),Administrator client(Domino/Web)(Different

Tools),Domino Directory(It provides set of instructions with AdminP For instance, when a user is renamed, the certificate information is changed. This is stored in a Person document in the Domino Directory. When the renaming process is in progress, this is indicated in the Person

document under the Change Request field),Certification Logs Database(Certlog.nsf database created when server installed it works assgining new certificates),Admin4.nsf and administr

I have a staff member who keeps getting a error everytime she opens mail "error message: The public key that is being used does not match the one that was certified."

I am a user running Lotus Notes Release 4.6 (Intl). I am out of the office for a few weeks and can't access my email. Is there a way to forward my incoming email to a new address at another internet email site?

Philip Murphy

In the Corporate Address Book, go to your person document. Click on Edit Person Document. (If you do not have access rights to do this, ask your administrator to do it for you). There is a field that you can fill in for a Forwarding Address. You can put in any internet email address and your mail will automatically be sent to that address. Make sure that when you get back to the office, you take this address out, as you will not receive mail in both places

I am having some difficulty with creating links to files in Lotus Notes. I am able to create the links, but when the source file is changed it is not reflected in Notes. I am testing using Lotus Notes mail, and have been able to highlight a section of a file (e.g. Word document), and paste it into Notes (using Paste Special/Create link), and if I open the Word document and make a change withing the section I highlighted, the change will be reflected in Notes. If I make a change elsewhere in the document, the change is not reflected. Ideally what I am looking for is a way to create a link to an entire souce document, so that if the source document changes, the changes are reflected in Lotus Notes. Other times that I have tried, I have created the link, and when I changed the source document, then Notes can no longer find it.

Here are some of the answers for your top 5 questions..I'll answer the remaining afterwards as I don't have time now..

1) Mails can be restored only if the backup is maintained.

2) Not sure… as far as I know, the domino server cannot be upgraded while it is running.

3) Connectivity between two servers can be checked using “Trace <Destination Server Name>” . If servers are in different domains then they should have connection documents to route or replicate mails.

4) To diagnose replication problems… you need to manually replicate the cluster servers and through console replication. And if there is any error, it is visible on the console..

5) Home server is the server on which the mail db resides

Post interview Questions nd Answers on Domino admi

this will help candidates...freshers/Experienced Pls let me know what is Ispy in Domino??

Dear Shushma,

I have some Question which is being ask on my IBM interview ,pl do reply of the same ..1).Why mailbox corrupts? How it can be repaired?

2).Why mail gets delayed in transfer?3).A user is not receiving mails but able to send mails, why?

4).A user is not able to send/receive mails?5).What does router in lotus notes?

6).How mail routing works?7).Explain transaction mails logging, mail tracking?

8).Why this message comes in sending a mail “address not listed in domino directory.”?9).How cluster works?

10).What are daily routine activities done by a lotus administrator on server?11).What are common task run on server by default?

12).What is encryption?13).Differentiate replica, new copy? What is basic difference?

Let me answer some of the questions posted by you..

I am answering them as per the sequence given by you...

1) Mail.box gets corrupted due to corrupt mails.. It can be repaired by using the fixup and compact the commands.

2)There are many reasons for mail getting delayed... but usually a mail may get delayed due to the unavailability of the next routing server...

3) The reason may be the user's mail quota has exceeded. When a user's mail quota exceeds he will not be able to receive mails but can send mails.. but his sent copy will not be stored in

the sent folder of the mail database.

4) The reason is the user is using the offline database of the mail file..

5) Router task transfers the mail between the two servers.

6) It's a big scenario to explain mail routing here.. but in brief.. mail is routed from the notes client to the server's mail.box using mailer task and from the server's mail.box to the next server's mail.box router task takes care of it..and from the server's mail.box to the mail

database again the mailer task is involved.

7) Transaction logging logs all the tasks running on the domino.... no further idea about it..and mail tracking .. tracks your messages sent/received on the server.

8) "address not listed in domino directory".. This error is arised if the recepient's name is not found in the domino directory..

12) Encryption works for the mail security...

13) Replica occurs between the two databases only if their replica id is unique... If u create a new copy the contents in both the databases cannot be synchronises later...

I have not answered the remaining queries as it takes a much longer time to explain them.. Thanks u very much yaar .pl give answer of some more question

What are common task run on server by default?What is cross certification?

How cluster works?How mail route in lotus notes?

What is partition server and pass-through server?What is role of ECL?

What are different types of ACL rights? Differentiate Author, Depositor, Editor, and Designer?What is DOLF?

10.what is NSD error for?

A mail.box can be created by selecting the server's configuration document-->Router/SMTP -->basics tab , we can change the setting.. in the configuration doc acc to our convenience..

A mail.box can be created by starting the server for the first time..

Multiple mai.boxes can be created by changing the default value of the server's config doc -->Router/SMTP -->basics tab and restaring the server.

When a mail.box gets corrupted, usually we can stop the router and then work with fixup and compact commands, still if the problem persists, we need to stop the server and take the

backup of the mail.box and delete it from the original destination and then start the server... as we start the server a new mail.box will be created...

Fixup task runs for fixing up the database and compact task is used for the compacting the unused space on the database..

RRV error arises due to corruption in the names.nsf of the server.. then we need to delete and take the backup of the existing names.nsf and copy the names.nsf from the different server of

the same domino domain and paste it in the server's data folder and start the server.

Replica id is used to recognize mutiple databases which r replicated from the same database..

To shift Domino Server from one server to another server, we need to copy names.nsf, server.id,notes.ini, and the whole data directory if the domino server is the primary server...
