Change a notes.ini variable

I used the desktop policy to push a variable to the notes.ini of every Notes client. Is this possible to change this value ?

My desktop policy form contain this field: $PrefCheck_Quota_On_Mail_Create with a value of 1, I would like to change it to 0

I try to change the value in the field, but it is not working.

Thanks for your help.

It should work. You can set and modify. You cant delete a setting but you can definitely change it.

Try to change another thing in the policy, and see if it reflects. Otherwise I would delete the documents in the $Policies view in the local names.nsf and then try again.

You need to close the client and open it again.

There should be no problem deleting all of them, since they will download again from the server. You can make a backup if you feel better that way.

After you start the client, check the local log.nsf. You should see something that says that the settings were refreshed. That’s the policies been downloaded.

Subject: policies came back

OK, I deleted all the documents in the Policies$ view, they all came back after restarting Lotus Notes . But I still have the wrong value in the $PrefCheck_Quota_On_Mail_Create field

But I definitely put a value of “0” in the $PrefCheck_Quota_On_Mail_Create field in the desktop policy form

I’m confused!

Thanks!

Do you have only one policy or setting that has this?

Maybe you have several and the user is been attached to the wrong one. Try to export a Policy Sinopsis (Person View, Tools on the right) and check the result. Also, you could try explicity assign the policy.

Try to open names.nsf and do crtl+shift+f9 to remake all the views. And also, you could try to delete cache.ndk in the client.

But this is usually not required. I cant imaging why is setting you another value.
