• This is usually the same as the organization name.
• Use a single word, made up of only alpha (A-Z) or numeric (0-9) characters.

• By default, the Server Setup program assigns names in the format port name network -- for example, TCP/IP network.
• Edit Notes named network names to use an identifier such as the location of the IBM Lotus Notes named network and the network protocol -- for example, TCPIP-Boston.

• This name is typically the same as the Domino domain name.
• The organization name is the name of the certifier ID and is appended to all user and server names.

• There can be up to four levels of organizational units.

• Choose a name you want to keep. If you change a server name, you must recertify the server ID.
• Choose a name that meets your network's requirements for unique naming. On TCP/IP, use only the characters 0 through 9, A through Z, and - (dash). On NetBIOS, the first 15 characters must be unique. On SPX, the first 47 characters must be unique.
• Keep in mind that Domino performs replication and mail routing on servers named with numbers before it does those tasks on servers named with alphabetic characters.

• Use a first and last name. A middle name is allowed, but usually not needed. User names may contain the ' (apostrophe).

• Can have only one alternate name

• Use any of these characters: A - Z, 0 - 9, & - . _ ' / (ampersand, dash, period, space, underscore, apostrophe, forward slash). The only characters that are expressly prohibited are @ and //.

Note Do not create group names containing a / (slash) unless you are working in a hosted environment. Using the / in group names in a non-hosted environment causes confusion with hierarchical naming schemes. Hierarchical names are required in a hosted environment.

• For mail routing, you can nest up to five levels of groups. For all other purposes, you can nest up to six levels of groups.

• Do not include spaces

• Optional
