ADMINISTRATION TOOLS
You can designate extended administration servers for one Domino Directory by selecting a namespace in the Domino Directory's extended access interface and designating a particular server as an administrator for that namespace. The new interface allows you to specify the exact namespace that an individual administration server is responsible for.
The extended administration server distributes the administration responsibilities across multiple servers which is especially useful for remote administration of servers that are geographically dispersed. The concept of the extended administration server was developed in order to make remote administration available to administrators.
