Search for auto-populated group members failed for group Server1MBUsers.: NAMELookups are
limited on this server to a size smaller than what would be returned. See your Domino Administrator
for more information.
To prevent this from happening, use the following server NOTES.INI setting to increase the limit from 1MB
to a value greater than one.
Namelookup_max_mb=1
Start by increasing the value to 2MB and continue increasing the value until you do not reach a limit as to
the number of names that can be retrieved.
Auto-populated groups can have subgroups. When an auto-populated group becomes large, subgroups are
automatically created for the auto-populated group to hold all of the members of the group. The subgroup
names have a specific format.
For example, if the auto-populated group name is Home Mail Server, the first automatically created
subgroup for that group has the following name:
Home Mail Server-AP00001
Note: You cannot manually create an auto-populated subgroup and you cannot modify or edit the Members
field.
The Domino update task runs on the Domino administration server and processes group documents by
locating changes to those documents or to users and groups in the Domino Directory. The group document
is searched for predefined criteria according to the auto-populated method you specify in the field "Auto-
Populate Method" on the Group document. The entries in the fields "Additional Members" and "Excluded
Members" are also used to determine the final group membership. If the final group membership list differs
with the membership specified in the group document, the group document is updated. You specify how
often the update task runs by specifying an update interval in the field "Auto-populated group Members
update interval" in the Domino Directory Profile document.
Note: Auto-populated groups that contain subgroups should not be copied and pasted in the Domino
Directory because they contain references to their subgroups; therefore, a copied and pasted auto-
populated group refers to the same subgroups as the original group.
Auto-populated groups are available from the Domino Administrator, not from the Domino Web
Administrator.
Setting up auto populated home server groups
Complete these steps to set up an auto-populated home server group.
• Make sure LDAP is configured and running on the server.
•
Set up a Home Server auto-populated group in a Group document.
• Specify the update interval for auto-populated groups in the Domino Directory Profile document.
This interval is read by the update process when it starts up. If you change the update interval
setting, you need to restart the update process to make the change take effect.
Auto populated group statistics
Auto-populated group statistics are generated when the updated thread runs, according to the interval you
specified in the field "Auto-populated group members update interval" on the Directory Profile document. If
the Update task has problems processing the auto-populated groups, it will be indicated in the statistics and
