R8 Upgrade and LEI

It took me a while to work this out. I searched everywhere and couldn't find documentation of the correct process. The upgrade kept crashing.

Turns out that even with the LEI task shut down the R8 upgrade would bomb. I had to copy the LEI related files to another directory (not needed but just a precaution), uninstall LEI, run the upgrade, reboot and then reinstall LEI.

I hope this helps someone else out there because it was just tough to figure out with everything else going on at my work.

Hello World.

This is the first posting of my Domino and Notes experiences. Hopefully others my have similar issues which can be resolved with information I have documented here. Also, feel free to post any questions and I will try my best to answer them.

A little bit about myself: I have been a Domino Administrator since R4.0. I am also a Domino Developer although I am not a big programming fan. My certs have not been kept up to date but for R4, R4.5, R5 and R6 I am a Principal CLP - System Administration, R4.x, R5 Principal Applications Development and R4.x and R5 CLI.

Anyways, this is just my "Hello World" posting.
