You find some of your servers are still trying to replicate like crazy with servers you’ve removed from your Domino Domain?

You must be running DDM my friend. Check out this technote then from IBM / Lotus.

Master Bathroom Renovation and Bathtubs

As you may or may not know, we are planning to renovate our master bathroom this year. It has scope-creeped somewhat from the original “Bathroom” concept, but we’ve now capped the project at a size that we think will be doable and worth the pain.
