You would think it would get better..

So last night the phone
rings from our NOC (Network Operations Center) with a customer issue. This
customer happens to be one of the Sametime servers i talked about earlier
this week. I feared the worst. Visions of tiny bots running
loose in the server eating memory and snacking on Domino Directory cookies.
But ALAS!! It was their issue with their domain. Over
40 servers and someone restored a NAB form who knows when, that kindly
had the Personal Address Book design. For those of you new or don't
know, this qualifies as a very bad thing as it then replicated throughout
the domain. Quite rapidly due to their fine replication topology.
As fast as they could connect they disabled replication
on the NAB on servers. They then replicated a clean new directory
to a subdirectory on the server. Now some are saying Ah HA! Replicating
a new one, but disabling replication on the primary causes Domino to search
everywhere on the server for a replica right? Riiiiggghhhhttt. So
when they pushed out the others, left the ACL the same and did not turn
off replication overall, guess what?
We have a winner!!!! It proceeded to overwrite
the new pushed out replica!. Basically it was a circus of speedy
efficient replication with no ringmaster.
By the way, sneak
over to
Libby's site and tell her what
you think of her skills at macaroni and cheese :-)
