Resolution

  1. Open Domino Admin Console and connect to Enterprise Vault Domino Gateway (EVDG) server.
     
  2. Press Ctrl + Shift + names.nsf and double click on names.nsf database.
     
  3. Click on $VIMpeople and press Ctrl + Shift + F9 (this will update the names.nsf database)
    If still the names.nsf is not updated then follow the alternate method to update the names.nsf
     
  4. From the EVDG domino console, run the following command
    Load updall names.nsf -T ($VIMPeople)

    If there is a delay in replicating the Names.nsf to the EVDG then replication can be forced as follows:

    Pull Dominoservername names.nsf

    Note: Dominoservername should be the name of your Domino Server.

Issue/Introduction

After renaming a person document the renamed user is no longer able to access archived items. For e.g. User A has been renamed to User B. This rename of the person document creates a situation where the user does not have sufficient privileges inherited from mail file.
