CONFIGURING
About this task
For example, if Alice Brown/Marketing/Renovations leaves a job in the Marketing department for a job in Sales, you can certify her user ID with the /Sales/Renovations certifier, which, in effect, moves her to that Organizational Unit. Her full hierarchical name then becomes Alice Brown/Sales/Renovations.
You can also move a user to another Organization, however to do so, your Domino Directory must contain cross-certificates between the Organizations involved. So, for example, if Alice Brown/Marketing/Renovations leaves a job at Renovations to work for the Renovations subsidiary RenovationsSub that has its own Organization Certifier, you can certify her ID with the /RenovationsSub certifier so that her name becomes Alice Brown/RenovationsSub. Using this example, the Domino Directory must have cross-certificates between /Renovations and /RenovationsSub.
There are two parts to moving a user name:
Changing primary and alternate name information during the move
If an alternate name has been assigned, the administrator who performs the approval phase of the move automatically has the option to change primary name information. If an alternate name has not been assigned, you can designate whether the administrator who completes the move can modify primary name fields. To use the Domino alternate name functionality, Domino must be running on all servers involved with the name change, the user's workstation, and the administrator's workstation.
Synchronizing the name change between Notes and Active Directory
While completing the move, you also have the option of synchronizing the name change between Notes and the Active Directory. To do so, select Rename NT user account in the Rename Person dialog box.
