Move roaming user
You can use the IBM® Lotus® Domino® Administrator to move a roaming user's files from one server to another server. While performing the procedure to move a roaming user's roaming files (journal.nsf, bookmark.nsf, names.nsf), you have the option to move the user's mail file as well. Moving the user's mail files, in addition to their roaming files, creates additional administration requests. The administration requests for moving roaming files are listed here under the heading "Move roaming files administration requests", and the administration requests for moving mails files are listed here under "Move mail files administration requests".

To move a roaming user's files, from the Domino Administrator choose People & Groups, People - Tools - Move.

If the destination server to which you are moving the roaming user files is not in the Local domain, the "Promote new roaming server's access" request is generated as the second request in the series. Otherwise, the "Promote New Roaming Server's Access" is not generated.
