Troubleshooting memory leaks with 'show memory allocated'

While using trapleaks you can use a console command to show the allocated memory. It will show the allocated per-process memory and the allocated shared memory allocated in IBM Lotus Domino.

This command is used to track potential memory leaks on demand without requiring the server to be shut down. Note that blocks reported by this command are not guaranteed to be leaks, but show what blocks of a given block type are allocated at any given time. To confirm possible leaks, the server will need to be shutdown to invoke trapleaks debug.

Email archiving -Should we use quotas too?

Hi,

I'm currently working on the deployment of Symantec Enterprise Vault. I've suggested to my client to use quotas on mail files. He told me, why we use archiving , so our mail files will be smaller.

My point is that the system will archive every pieces of crap (Personal MP3, Movies, things not related to work). With quotas, peoples would have to say: mmmmmm, do I have to keep this.

What do you think? Should be remove every quotas?

Thank you,

How to Set Up a Notes Client without User Intervention Using a Scriptable Setup

Have you ever used this feature? Technote : 1112835

LINK

I think it's working well. I've used it for two of my clients and the ROI is very important
In my case, the user's DATA\ are located on a network drive so it's easy to configure those Notes clients.
I send NTF, Images, UserID, ini in the personal network . With the current user's info, i populate the Setup file
While in my script, the archive database is created
At the end , a welcome message is sent to the new users.
They can click a button to completely finich the setup
Total Elapse time, approx 1minute per user

When you start you Notes client, you only have the message Notes configuration finished

No more Next button!

When removing user from Domino, there is no way to remove or reassign their reservations

If you delete a user from the Lotus® Domino® Directory, reservations the user has made in the Domino Resource Reservations database will remain the same (that is, they will stay reserved by that user). There is no way to automatically transfer the reservations to another user (chairperson) or delete the reservations.

The Database Redirection tool

Have you ever used this new feature?

What's new in the Lotus Domino V8 server Link


A new Database Redirection function automatically fixes broken links to moved or deleted applications. Redirection markers are created by default, and a new tool (see figure 11) lets an administrator create or modify redirects manually. When a Lotus Notes client accesses a redirection marker, if the file has been moved the reference is replaced; if the file has been deleted, the reference is deleted. (Database redirects are used only by Lotus Notes V8 clients, not by servers.) The tool lets administrators assign references to particular users or groups, making redirection role-based.

Free Proofpoint Report on Outbound Email Security and Data Loss Prevention

Not directly related to Lotus but an interesting report. Registration is required

How concerned are companies about the content of email leaving their organizations? And how do companies manage the legal and financial risks associated with outbound email? To find out, Proofpoint and Forrester Consulting (a division of leading analyst firm Forrester) conducted an
online survey of technology decision makers at 424 large companies - in the US, UK, Germany, France and Australia - during March 2008.

This report summarizes the findings of Proofpoint's fifth-annual email security and data loss prevention study, including surprising statistics about how large companies manage the risks associated with outbound email, blog postings, media sharing sites, social networking sites, mobile Internet-connected devices and other electronic communications streams.

Windows Server 2008 potholes snag Exchange, in-place upgrades

From Network world

Users planning to run Microsoft Exchange on Windows Server 2008 and those contemplating
in-place upgrades of the new server operating system coming out next week may face
installation problems unless they heed specific advice from Microsoft.

The vendor is already warning users that the RTM version of Exchange 2007 cannot be
installed on Windows Server 2008 and that it is impossible to do an in-place upgrade to
Windows Server 2008 on a server running Exchange 2007 SP1.

Microsoft also has said "rolling upgrades" of failover clusters for Exchange are
impossible.

Microsoft has published three migration options, including one long set of steps around
off-loading data, uninstalling and reinstalling numerous Exchange components.

......

Microsoft officials say in-place upgrades are not considered a best practice [for
Microsoft products] and that most large IT shops do thorough testing before deployment.
...

In addition, Hinrichs said Windows Server 2008 installs will likely [hopefully] be done
on new hardware or hardware wiped clean for new installs.
