axel: i think that your problem come into existence from your and your "local admins" domino competence. coming to point when "important server" is 5 hour out of order, giving me some look of what "important" mean for this company managment.
ive build, mantain, and dev. many notes networks. not so big in american standards /in this moment one server with about 400 hundred heavy users. in this moment during migration to double machine cluster/. i cannot see any purpose to MIGRATE from domino. in my current company. with set of network responsible linux machines, oracle cluster, domino5 on nt, and sybase. having little but knowledge-full team /about 8 people with deep knowledge of domino, php, perl, c, linux, delphi, java, oracle & some more.../ we do not use in our it department words like "impossible". there is of course a problem of always-be-prototype applications. but detailed knowledge and possibilities of customization, giving power.
can someone told me, that know a better way to maintain on a single ibm eseries machine /forgive me non detailed specification //two little xeons, 1GB RAM/// 400 about 1GB maildatabases, 60.000 monthly incomig e-mails, completely company documents workflow and not-so-small&simple-web based intranet? when you already have this machine and this soft and knowledge about it? i dont see reason to migrate from domino. i only can to see reason to migrate from any MS.
/by the way, most of with-domino-server accidens i saw, was because of OS, or hardware, or people un-knowledge problems/
i saw many companies where the only one about lotus notes idea was "mail server", or loving telephones, or cellulose smell... they can go to exchange or post office, or whatever. be happy. i stay where i can make my users pleased
