The Change Manager for Domino is a native Notes solution that provides change reporting, management, and auditing of Domino server configurations. It monitors changes to server settings and directories, allows approval workflows for changes, and records an audit trail with snapshots of the environment over time. Administrators can use it to review changes, revert them if needed, and troubleshoot issues by identifying recent configuration changes.

The Change Manager for Domino is a native Notes, self-contained Change Management
solution for Lotus Domino Server environments.
The Change Manager provides change reporting, change management and change auditing for
Domino configuration and security settings, including Directory elements, use of Full Access
Administration, Registry Keys, ACLs, Log Entries, User Certification, User Sessions and Groups.
This allows for Quality Assurance of changes (especially if servers in your environment are
maintained by multiple Administrators), and ITIL/SOX/Auditing Compliance.
For example, if an Administrator wants to modify Mail Routing, another Administrator can review
and approve the change before it gets implemented. Even if you choose not to enforce Change
Control, Administrators can still be alerted to relevant changes and revert them before they
cause problems.
Changes can be implemented and reverted to a schedule, and reminders can be sent if a
change has not been reverted by a specific time (e.g. NOTES.INI debug settings).
The Change Manager also assists with Problem Solving: you can easily see all recent changes
in the Domino environment, to identify (or discount) Domino as the likely cause.
You can also provide auditing information via recording of changes and regular snapshots of the
environment, as well as Benchmarking, and Hub-Spoke Directory validation.
