Second time this week I was asked a question around naming conventions..
Tags :Domino 7
Server names combined with DNS and just plain
simplicity seem to be an issue. Here is the rules on what you should
use and can use as said by Lotus
Domino server names
are unique names that identify servers in a given Domino domain. Domino
server names can consist of one or more words (a maximum of 79 characters)
and can consist of any characters except: parentheses, at (@), slash and
backslash (/ and \), equal (=), and plus (+). Using spaces or periods is
not recommended. If you use spaces, you must enter that server name in
quotes ("") when entering a command at the server console. As
the Domino server name is also used within the given protocols name to
address resolve process the use of underscores and periods can create lookup
failures within different protocols. As such they are strongly not
recommended.
So no more spaces in server names please.
FQDN naming is nice for making everything work smooth, but sometimes
quite long as a server name. Common sense seems to rule. Make
the server names unique, not match the OS and keep them reasonable.
