Hi all,
I have been given the task of figuring out how to customize the installation of Notes 6, including setting the Workspace page as the default home (or Welcome) page.
I have read the Technote containing the step-by-step to customize the bookmark.ntf template, however I am confused as to how customizing that template (on the server I presume??) will affect the installation process (we plan to do some installations via network drives, but there will be MANY via CD).
None of my installs need to be “quiet” or unattended. If I modify the template, will I then need to use ISTuner & create a custom install? Can anyone clarify this process for me, please?
It sems as though it would be relatively easy, but I find myself going back & forth between technotes & all the great info in this forum…then I REALLY get confused.
Thanks in advance

OK, maybe as I sit here thinking about it, it’s the install process itself that I’m not 100% sure of.
Does the bookmark.nsf file get created on the client during INSTALL (out of the installation files), or during the first connect to server during post-install configuration? If this is indeed the case, then I may have answered my own question.
I’d still like to know what is correct, if anyone can help.
Thanks again

Modify your template and then use the IS Tuner to create an MST file so that the installation will copy the custom .NTF to the PC. When the client is configured, it will take on attributes in the custom bookmark file.
In the IS Tuner look in the “Target System Configuration”>>“Files” section.

Thank you very much for your response, Steven. That’s exactly the info I needed to know.
