Deletion stubs - From a NoteID , possible to get the UNID like Notespeek?

With NotesPeek, it is possible to see the UNID of the deleted document. I've check this code , it's seems to be excellent but it only get the document's NoteID , not the UNID.

I'm not able to get the UNID of the deleted document.

So, from a NoteID , is it possible to get the UNID of the document like in NotesPeek?

Still exists in 8.5 - Old documents pushed back by replication

You unintentionally replicate your production version of the Lotus Domino Directory with an older replica. Now your production replica contains several person, group, and settings entries that were previously deleted.

How to recover from replicating a current Domino Directory with an old replica

So, the problem still exists in 8.5, so instead of doing it manually, just a little tool to do it:

Export to Excel - With windows OS - Operation failed

This is a bit strange. I do an export to MS-Excel. It's working fine with documents that have OS other than Windows. When it comes to Windows, i have Operation failed....Is this an integration problem with MS own products :-)

Notes 8.5 - Designating the Out of Office service type

Specify an Out of Office service type according to whether a server cluster is comprised of IBM® Lotus® Domino® 8 servers, pre-Domino 8 servers, or a combination of both. There are two Out of Office service types, Service and Agent. Use the Out of Office Service for clusters comprised of Domino 8 servers; use the Out of Office Agent for clusters that contain any pre-Domino 8 servers. A mixed cluster of Domino 8 servers and pre-Domino 8 servers requires an Out of Office service type of Agent. Use the field Out of Office service type in the Server Configuration document to control whether users utilize the Out of Office agent or service. By default, the Out of Office service type is Agent.

8.5 - Attachments appear in the header section of a memo or form

Using Lotus Notes, you find that an attachment appears at the top of a document in the header section of a memo or other form. Specific to mail files, this issue may be more apparent when upgrading from a Notes 6.x or 7.x release to Notes 8.5, while your mail file is still based on the earlier release's design. The issue does not occur with all attachments.

Open source and Lotus : Which templates do you want?

I like the idea of Ian Tree but like many said, i think that there is not much interest from the outside world. In counter parts, I like the proposition made by Philip Storry about the use of templates.

We need more apps in the box with Notes/Domino. Many more. They only need to be basic, but they do need to be there. Expenses, Holiday Booking, a decent Group Calendar, and so forth. We should probably write a long list, wrap it round a brick, and lob it through IBM's window to get their attention. (Metaphorically speaking, of course.)

And all templates shipped with Notes/Domino need to be EXPLICITLY open source.

It's similar to those previous posts,
