Good Day
Is there any way to extract and print out a list of the version of all and each notes client on a server
Please help
Thanks

Create a view that lists the client versions or write an agent to cycle through the person documents and export them. In my experience the client versions listed in the person documents are unreliable, but your experience could be different.

Charles, after you clear them all out with an agent and let them get rebuilt they are pretty reliable…

I cleared them, but they’re mostly still blank. Apparently there’s something, somewhere, that controls when this gets updated. I’m not sure where it is. I ended up putting code in the mail template that tracks it for me.

I posted about this in relation to Smart Upgrades back in June:
Before Notes/Domino 6.5.3, there was no out of the box way to track client upgrades - much less Smart Upgrade. This method is something that I still use to get an overview of the clients we have and this can be used regardless of whether you use Smart Upgrade or another method. The first thing I did was create a view in the Domino Directory that displays some brief information on the client version.
There’s not really much to this view. To make the first column display nicely, I just have the following formula: @RightBack(ClntBld;" "). The only other thing I have involved with this is an agent to change the ClntBld field of selected documents. This is very helpful to allow me to keep the numbers correct. As clients are upgraded, the old Client Builds are maintained. This is not helpful for the purpose of my tracking. So as batches of clients are upgraded I simply run the agent to make sure that the Client Build field only has one entry. This just keeps the same document from displaying in multiple categories. As another tip for this method, make sure that as you are modifying the Client Build fields that you start with the most recent versions.
Here’s an example:
