DIRECTORY SERVICES


Directory search order for a name in a Notes address field
When a IBM® Lotus® Notes® user enters a user or group name in an address field of a Notes memo, the Notes client and mail server search directories in the following order to retrieve the address for the name. If a name is found during any step, searches continue only if the "Recipient name lookup" field in the Notes user's current Location document is set to "Exhaustively check all address books."

1. The user's Contacts.

2. Any local Mobile Directory Catalogs on the client.


3. The primary IBM® Lotus® Domino® Directory on the user's mail server or directory server.

4. A condensed Directory Catalog on the server.

5. Directories defined in the server's directory assistance database that have the option "Make this domain available to: Notes clients and Internet Authentication/Authorization" enabled.
