Automatic Client Install and locations

HCL Domino Domino Forum
1

Hi folks,

I wonder if there is a supported way to customize locations on Notes Client (6.5.1) setup.

  • I have used the ISTuner to create a customized installation set.

  • I have used a Configfile to make default settings during Client configuration.

  • I have created setup policies to configure the client on setup

So far, so good.

However there are still the default locations present which I’d like to be removed and replaced by a customized set of about 6 locations plus appropriate connection documents.

I would prefer to handle this by std. Notes/Domino setup features but not to use any scripting.

Is this possible or will I need to code something?

Regards

Guido

Did you have any luck with this? I have the same issue, haven’t been albe to resolve it. Thanks.

For anyone with this same issue, I would suggest adding a custom pernames.ntf to the installshield tuner re-packaged install.

This pernames.ntf should contain the required or desired connection documents.

This way when the local names.nsf gets created from pernames.ntf, the database has the proper ACL for the user and it has a unique replica ID.

Something to think about:

You could add an already created names.nsf with the location documents you want to the install kits with the Tuner. You could add a db open agent to set the ACL properly and add any user specific stuff to the db after the install is finished.

This wouldn’t do the trick.Doing so might cause problems because I wonder if all fields of the location docs will be populated properly.

Besides, we have some users having a replica of their personal addressbook on the server. With the approach you mention, all the addressbooks will have same replica ID.

Guess I will need to code something… :frowning:
