Delete server - Flat server on the outbound (source) domain

When a Delete Server administration request is initiated for a flat server name on the outbound (source) domain, approval requests are generated on the inbound (destination) domain. For example, the Approve delete server in Domino Directory is an administration request that requires the administrator's approval, and would be generated on the inbound (destination) domain when a flat server is selected for deletion on the outbound (source) domain.

The flow of administration requests documented here results when you are deleting a flat server from the outbound (source) domain, and you do not select Immediate processing.
