DAOS, Antivirus & "File is in use by another program"

  • 08 Mar, 2010

From TN1381280 After DAOS has been enabled on a Domino server, if the virus scanner has not been configured properly to avoid .NLO files, "File is in use" errors may occur. The virus scanner should be configured to prevent processing the. NLO files in the DAOS repository.  This can be accomplished either by specifying that the scanner skip files with an .NLO suffix, or by specifying that the DAOS base directory (and all subdirectories) should be skipped by the scans. Instead of scanning the .NLO files directly, the attachments should be scanned via the Domino server by an application, such as an add-in program, that works through the Domino API.

ID Vault Security

  • 25 Feb, 2010

An ID vault provides several layers of security. - Protection against the use of an unauthorized vault A user ID can be uploaded to a vault only if a parent certifier of the user ID has issued a Vault Trust Certificate to the vault. This prevents a rogue administrator from creating an unauthorized vault and uploading ID files into it. - Protection against unauthorized downloads of IDs ID downloads from a vault are password-protected. If ten incorrect consecutive passwords are specified during one day in an attempt to download an ID file from a vault to a client, downloads are disabled for that ID for the day. To download the ID that day, the password must be reset on it. For additional prot

DAOS Best Pratices

  • 25 Feb, 2010

From the domino wiki(http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/dominowiki.nsf/dx/daos-best-practices) When it comes to configuring the Domino Attachment and Object Service (DAOS), you may be asking yourself - and us in turn - what's the right way to set it up? For example, is there an optimum “Minimum Size� setting? Should the repository go under the data directory or on its own drive? What's the best “Deferred Deletion Interval� in relation to my backup and restore schedule? This guide, and the documents it references, attempts to answer these questions of individual, site-specific configuration in general terms with guidelines for adapting and modifying them based on measurements made against y

Windows 7 God Mode

  • 22 Feb, 2010

How to Enable Windows 7 GodMode I found this tip at www.sitepoint.com Here’s a neat Windows 7 trick that’s been doing the rounds on the Internet. It enables “GodMode,� a term devised by the Microsoft development team, which provides a single place to access all Windows settings without needing to browse options and folders in the Control Panel. To use it:
1.        Create a new folder.
2.        Rename the folder to GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} (note that you can change the “GodModeâ€� text, but the following period and code number are essential).
3.        The folder icon will change — double click it to show the GodMode window: !Image:Windows

Windows Disk Fragmentation

  • 17 Feb, 2010

Last Saturday i scheduled an maintenance for one of the our Domino Server. The server performance was not great and the problem was related to I/O.
Using Defraggler the analysis show us that the disk was 98% fragmented. After 3 hours, with Domino out of service, the disk was defragmented and the analysis show us 1% fragmented.
So i see a lot of databases with ODS 43, very old, and then i start a compact -c for all databases.
I ran Defraggler again and the analysis show than 58% of fragmentation, compact -c fragments databases. Today at OpenNtf there is an article about DominoDefrag, the solution to my problem, i don't have the maintenance  window.
