Welcome to the IBM® Domino 10.0.1 Administrator Help.
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).
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.
NOTES.INI Settings
The NOTES.INI settings described here can be set in the Configuration document of the Domino® server.
Name_Change_Expiration_Days
Specifies the number of days that the Administration Process waits before deleting obsolete Change Requests.

- Glossary

Name_Change_Expiration_Days

Specifies the number of days that the Administration Process waits before deleting obsolete Change Requests.

Syntax: Name_Change_Expiration_Days=days

Description: Acceptable range of values is 14 to 60 days. A Change Request is issued when a user is renamed with the Administration Process. If a user does not accept the name change within the period specified by this setting, the Administration Process deletes the contents of the Change Request field from the user's Person document. However, the Administration Process does not purge the associated Rename request from the Administration Requests database (ADMIN4.NSF).

For example:

Name_Change_Expiration_Days=30

Note: For this setting to take effect, it must be in place before you rename a user.

Applies to: Domino Administrator client

Default: 21 days

UI equivalent: None, although you can specify this setting in the Custom Settings > Notes.ini tab of a Desktop Settings policy.
