Misconfigurations, corrupted mail databases, or unruly profiles – typical challenges in the daily work of an HCL Domino administrator. To enable quick and structured intervention, HCL has published a comprehensive collection of tools that support administrators with recurring support issues. The "All-in-One Admin Tool" database combines key support functions in a single interface – available free of charge in the HCL Knowledge Base.

Solve key tasks faster
The tool isn't new – we've been successfully using it with clients for years. It's based on proven routines that were previously implemented manually. By collecting everything in a guided interface, individual scripts or agents are no longer needed – this saves time and reduces potential errors.
Examples from the tool collection:
-
Delete profiles: Enables the targeted removal of profile documents, e.g., to resolve issues with Out-of-Office or calendar settings.
-
Rebuild inboxes: In case of damaged or empty inbox views, the inbox can be reconstructed.
-
Clean up mail rules: Identification and removal of orphaned rules that continue to have an effect in the calendar entry.
-
Edit database ACLs: Adjust access levels for multiple mail databases in one step.
-
Deactivate agents: Background agents can be deactivated centrally and automatically.
-
Transfer calendar entries: It is possible to selectively transfer appointments from backup databases back into production environments.
