* If the Notes user being renamed is running a Notes client version that is pre-Notes 6.0, the user must accept the name change as explained here. Before the Administration Process carries out a rename person request, the user whose name is being changed is prompted to accept the name change. If the user does not accept the name change within a specified period of time, or grace period, the name change request becomes an Obsolete Name Change and is entered in the Administration Requests database as a Delete Obsolete Name Change request.

If the Domino server and the Notes client are both Notes Domino 6.0 or more recent, the user is not prompted to accept the name change, unless the user has requested to be prompted to accept. (To be prompted to accept a name change, the user must set that preference using the Security settings in the Notes client.
