A way to crash Domino 7 admin client
Tags :Domino 7
I was at a customer site this week, as my
daily readers know, using Domino 7 milestone 2 on my laptop for the work.
Well I have numerous domains set in File-Preferences-Adminsitration
Preferences for all the domains we manage globally. Here is what
I found.
At the customer site, they have proxy servers
and also restrict outbound 1352 traffic. So I could not reach many
of the destinations I had in preferences. Well when launching the
administrator client, it tried to reach the primary servers for the domains
first, then the secondary. Since it couldn't reach any of them, it
started trying others. What I started getting was numerous pop-ups
stating it couldn't reach ServerX then ServerY and etc throughout the domains.
It go to the point they were coming up as fast as I could click OK
on the pop-up. Eventually the client just crashed and burned. I
took it as a one time anomaly at first, and tried again. Apparently
I was in a good mood since the same result. The answer? I removed
many of the domains that I didn't use often from the preferences to get
past it.
