Finding a group name in the domain with the Domino® Administrator or Web Administrator
You can locate every occurrence of one or more specific group names within a domain. This is especially useful when moving groups to other servers or domains or when verifying that you have completely deleted a group name from your domain.

IBM® Domino 10.0.1 Documentation
Welcome to the IBM® Domino 10.0.1 Administrator Help.
- What's new in IBM® Domino® 10?
  Learn about all of the new features for administrators in IBM® Domino® 10.
- Overview
  Welcome to IBM® Domino® Administrator Help.
- Installing
  Use this documentation to install the IBM® Domino® server and subsequently deploy the IBM Notes® client.
- Planning
  Use this topic as an overview of planning task.
- Configuring
  Use this information to configure an IBM® Domino® network, users, servers (including Web servers), directory services, security, messaging, widgets and live text, and server clusters. Also use this information to set up IBM iNotes® on a server using Domino Off-Line Services (DOLS).
  - Configuring a network
    This section presents the planning concepts and setup procedures necessary for a successful IBM® Domino® deployment over a network. It provides information on network protocols from a Domino perspective but does not attempt to provide general network information.
  - Configuring users and servers
    Topics in this section describe how to set up users and servers.
    - Understanding the Server document
      The Server document is set up when you register a server. It contains many of the settings that define how your server operates.
    - Policies
      Use Domino® policy settings to control how users work with Notes®. A policy is a document that identifies a collection of individual policy settings. Policy settings documents define a set of defaults that apply to the users and groups to which the policy is assigned. You can change policy settings and they will be automatically applied to the assigned users and groups.
    - Defining default settings for Notes® user registration
      Before you register new Notes® users, you can specify default settings that apply to all users. Default settings simplify user registration and ensure user settings consistency. You can define many default settings, such as what mail server users have or what certifier ID to use for user registration. You can also specify a default workstation execution control list (ECL) to protect data from unauthorized workstation access.
    - Managing users
      The Administration Process helps you manage users by automating many of the associated administrative tasks. For example, if you rename a user, the Administration Process automates changing the name throughout databases in the Notes® domain by generating and carrying out a series of requests, which are posted in the Administration Requests database.
    - Using groups
      Groups are lists of users, groups, and servers that have common traits. They are useful for mailing lists and access control lists. Using groups can simplify administration tasks.
      - Using auto-populated groups
        The auto-populated groups feature uses predefined criteria to automatically determine and update group membership. Use the auto-populated groups feature to apply policies to users and groups based on their home servers.
      - Auto-populated group statistics
        Auto-populated group statistics are generated when the updated thread runs, according to the interval you specified in the field Auto-populated group members update interval on the Directory Profile document.
      - Creating and modifying groups
        Create and modify groups from the IBM® Domino® Administrator. You can nest one or more groups within an existing group, that is, create a group and then add one or more existing groups as members of the new group. You can nest as many groups as you need on the Domino server. You can also use the Web Administrator to create and modify groups.
      - Managing groups
        there are a number of ways you can manage groups.
        Assigning a policy to a group
        To apply policy settings to an entire group, you can assign a policy to the group. Assign an explicit policy or assign both an explicit policy and an organizational policy. An explicit policy combined with an organizational policy creates an effective policy for the group. You can use the Policy Synopsis tool to view how an effective policy affects the members of a group.
        Editing a group
        Use this procedure to edit any of the group attributes that are listed on the Group document in the Domino® Directory. You can modify the group name, group type, description, group membership, group owner, administrator, and specify whether foreign directory synchronization is allowed. Foreign directory synchronization allows synchronization between a post office directory or a Microsoft™ Exchange Address Book, and the Domino Directory.
        Deleting a group with the Domino® Administrator or the Web Administrator
        Follow these steps to use the Administration Process to delete a group from the Domino® Directory and from database ACLs and Extended ACLs. If the server is running Active Directory and contains a group account for this group, you can delete that group account, too.
        Finding a group name in the domain with the Domino® Administrator or Web Administrator
        You can locate every occurrence of one or more specific group names within a domain. This is especially useful when moving groups to other servers or domains or when verifying that you have completely deleted a group name from your domain.
        Finding a group member
        You can quickly locate a group member from the Domino® Administrator.
        Using the Manage Groups tool to manage groups
        The Manage Groups tool on the tools pane provides a quick and easy method for managing existing Domino® groups. You can open any Domino Directory to which you have access, and you can then add or remove people and groups from groups as necessary. You can also view details on groups.
        Renaming a group
        Use this procedure to rename a group in your domain.
    - Replicas
      You can make a database available to users in different locations, on different networks, or in different time zones, by creating replicas of the database.
    - Domain Search
      Notes® client and Web users can use Domain Search to search an entire Domino® domain for database documents, files, and attachments that match a search query.
    - Calendars and scheduling
      The calendar and scheduling features allow users to check the free time of other users, schedule meetings with them, and reserve resources, such as conference rooms and equipment.
    - Configuring Widgets and Live Text
      Widgets and Live Text enables end users to see and act on Live Text in supported documents, including IBM® Notes® mail, using XML extensions (widgets) created specifically for their use.
  - Editing the NOTES.INI file
    You should rarely, if ever, need to modify a server's or client's NOTES.INI file. The NOTES.INI file contains many settings that Domino® and Notes® rely on to work properly. An accidental or incorrect change may cause Domino or Notes to run unpredictably. Therefore, you should edit the NOTES.INI file only if special circumstances occur or if IBM® Support Services recommends that you do so.
  - Configuring directory services
    This section describes how to plan, set up, and use IBM® Domino® directory services.
  - Configuring messaging
    This section provides an overview of messaging and describes how to set up mail routing, how to set up and customize mail servers, and how to track mail.
  - Configuring iNotes®
    IBM® iNotes® (previously IBM Domino® Web Access) provides IBM Notes® users with browser-based access to Notes mail and to Notes calendar and scheduling features. Administrators specify mail policy and security policy settings as well as notes.ini file settings to complete the full implementation of IBM iNotes.
  - Configuring Web servers
    This section describes how to set up the IBM® Domino® Web server, the Domino Web Navigator, and other Web servers such as IBM HTTP.
  - Setting up a cluster
