You have made a change (or several) to your Server and Messaging Documents. What changes require a restart of the server?

While this list is not all inclusive, it should address most of the major changes. Feel free to add to the list in the comments, or correct my mistakes. I will probably create another post with your updates.

• Make a change to Messaging Configuration Document - no restart, but need to restart SMTP and/or Router
• Make a change to the LDAP section of Server Document - restart required
• Make a change to Global Domain Document - restart required (I don't think that this is correct)
• Make a change to web server of Domino server - no restart, but need to restart HTTP task.
• Starting or changing Directory Assistance - restart required
• Make a change to the behavior of Domino Web Access (like having all users open to their InBox) - restart required
• Make a change to the Internet Ports in the Server Document - no restart, but need to restart the specific task.
• Setup Fault Recovery - restart required
• Enable Password checking on Notes IDs - restart required
• Moving an Internet Certificate from one server to another - restart required.
• Changing SSL Key Encryption strength - no restart, but need to restart HTTP task
• Changing fields on the Security tab of the Server Document - no restart, but need to wait for Domino to recache the document (about 20 minutes).
• Create or change Domain Indexing - restart required
• Disable/enable Directory Catalogs in Server Document - restart required
• Make changes to Cluster Replicator - restart required
• Edits to the Notes.INI on the server - restart required unless you use SET CONFIG. Then you need to restart the affected task
• Change Transactional Logging settings - restart required
• Enabling SSL on Domino server - no restart, but need to restart HTTP task.
• Make changes to logging for Domino Web Server Log (domlog.nsf) - no restart, but need to restart HTTP.

I don't think changes to DA require a restart if it's already in place. it rebuilds the tables fairly often. At least, from my expierences.

Yes, DA requires restart when you enter its name in server document. Maybe this point is when you enter a new name or change DA name in server document, because changes in DA itself doesn't require restart and are published pretty quickly.

Does it require restart, when you change Notes.ini settings in the Configuration Document in Names.nsf?
