Hi All,
Can someone know if there will be an issue if we are upgrading our server to 8.5, but the clients remains 7.02? For now, only the NAB will be refreshed to a 8.5 design.
We are in domain with around 15 servers, 7000+ clients…
Thanks.

Make sure you upgrade to 8.5 IF2 on the Domino Server and avoid a couple of problems - Details here

Also, there is a bug in the Domino 8.5 Installer that it removes files needed to to run older versions of iNotes/DWA that will be fixed in Domino 8.5.1
It’s captured in SPR:
BCOE7NRT3L: v8.5.x upgrade install should not remove previous version of iNotes specific files.
but I haven’t found/seen a Technote yet…
The workaround is to backup these files before upgrading and restore afterwards…
\data
dwa7.ntf
iNotes6.ntf
\data\domino\html
dwa7.cab
dwa7res_en.dll
dwa7W.cab
dwa8.cab
dwa8res_en.dll
dwa8W.cab
iNotes.cab
iNotes6.cab
iNotes6W.cab
inres6_en.dll (oddly does not get removed but want it on the list)
\data\domino\html\inotes5\help*.*
\data\iNotes
help65_iwa_en.nsf
help70_iwa_en.nsf
help80_iwa_en.nsf
everything else that I’m aware of should work just fine with Notes 7.02 Clients accessing the Domino 8.5 Server.
