Decommissioning a Domain Search server
If you want the server that creates full-text indexes of the IBM® Lotus® Domino™ domain to resume duty as a regular Domino server, remove it from the appropriate group in the Domino Directory, edit its Server document, and then delete some files from its directory structure.

To decommission a Domain Search server

1. From the Domino Administrator, click the Files tab.

2. Open the Domino Directory (NAMES.NSF), and then click Groups.

3. Select LocalDomainCatalogServers and click "Edit Group."

4. On the Basics tab, in the Members field, remove the indexing server you want to decommission.

5. Click "Save and Close."

6. Expand the Servers section in the view pane, and then click Servers.

7. Select the server that you want to decommission, and click "Edit Server."

8. Click the Server Tasks - Domain Catalog tab.

9. In the Domain Catalog field, select Disabled and click OK.


10. Click "Save and Close."

11. Delete the Domain Catalog (CATALOG.NSF) from the server.

12. Delete the FTDOMAIN.DI subdirectory from the server's Domino data directory.

Note Users' Location documents can be automatically updated with the name of your new indexing server if you include the new server in your desktop policy settings.
