Del, I understand what your are saying; but know don't yet how to get round this problem.
I had set up this alternate server a while ago and could and still can restore databases, activate and applying logs by following "procedures outlined in the Appendix titled "Advanced restore procedures"". At kick off this how my Notes.ini looks:- [Notes] Directory=D:\Lotus\Domino\Data\Restoredbs (line modified) TRANSLOG_Status=0 TRANSLOG_Path=D:\Alternatelog (line modified) TRANSLOG_MEDIAONLY=1 (line inserted) also Domdsm.cfg was edited to reflect that "to use" notes.ini file which resides in D:\Lotus\Domino\ALTERNATE_SERVER_RESTORE. Maybe, I should mention that this Alternate Server also houses the Transaction Logs for the Production Server on Drive L:\ and the Domino Server Service on this Alternate Server is always stopped.

The message is telling you that the Domino server thinks that there is a different transaction logger id in effect. However, when you follow the alternate server restore procedure, there initially won't be logging at all until you restore the first transaction log and enable logging. Please take a look at the procedures outlined in the Appendix titled "Advanced restore procedures". They discuss the steps you must take when restoring to an alternate server. These are especially important when using transaction logging.
