Administering a Sametime® Community Server
This section describes how to manage an IBM® Sametime® Community Server
Changing user names
When you change user or group names in the directory, the change is not reflected in IBM® Sametime® Community Server databases. In order to synchronize the directory names with the names in the Community Server databases, you must run the name conversion utility.
Running the name conversion utility
To run a name change task, start the name conversion utility. The name conversion utility uses the CSV file to update user contact and privacy lists with the latest directory changes.
Running the name conversion utility on AIX® and Linux™
Follow these instructions to run the name conversion utility on IBM® AIX® and Linux™ operating systems.

Procedure

Stop the IBM Sametime® Community Server and the Domino® server.
Open a new shell and change to the Domino data directory.
```
cd  /domino/notesdata
```

Type the following command:

./stnamechange.sh domino_bin_directory domino_data_directory

For example:

./stnamechange.sh /domino/opt/lotus/notes/80020/linux /domino/notesdata

When the name change task completes, restart the Sametime Community Server and the Domino server.
Restart all Sametime Community Servers in your deployment so they can detect the modified name. If your deployment includes Sametime Unified Telephony, restart all Telephony Application Servers as well.
