RE: Logic behind "Honor old names for up to <21> days" Marilyn Laudadio 12.Dec.05 01:05 AM a Web browser Domino Administrator 6.0.1All Platforms
Many different questions here... have you looked up "Rename person" in the Administrator guide?
There is a timetable explained in the help document.
Also, when you create the name change request, you can follow it's status in the Administration Requests database as the Adminp process tells you what it did and when it completed each task in the name change request.
There are several similar posts, but for the 21 days, both the old and new name will be accepted by Domino - for mail delivery and access. This is good if the person is on vacation, out of the office, or who automatically selects "NO" when the name change request dialog box pops up (and I can't tell you how many people blow by this dialog box and refuse the name change)
Hope this helps... I'm sure there are others who will add to this post.
