I have many users set their archive location to their network home directory file server. However this file server is being replace with new file server and new naming standard. Where is the settings on Notes client store on PC? I notice that it used notes.ini to store archive location. I changed the location on notes.ini file but the setting on Lotus Notes client GUI did not change and still using the old setting when run the archive. I search registry on the PC but found no key entries about archive setting location. Please advise. Thanks.

I am running ver 7 so it might be a little different. Assuming you are using client archiving, go to the client computer,open Notes, click File - Database - Properties and click "Archive Settings." Then "Edit" to change the settings.
If there is more than one DB you have to do each one separately.

Some of the information is in the notes.ini but some is also stored in the names.nsf (address book).

This became apparent when changing from names.nsf on the users network drive to names.nsf on the local machine.

When setting users up on a new p.c. just changing the notes.ini would not implement the necessary changes.

The GUI settings is the samme as V7. After you changed Archive Location using GUI, it wrotes entry to Notes.ini. If you manually change Notes.ini, it does not change the settings under GUI. I suppose Lotus Notes needs a major face lift! Anyone every done this type of migration?
