How do you empty a field in a location document by using a Desktop policy

We once had a policy that populated the "Proxy_HTTP" field with a proxy server.

Now this proxy is not needed anymore so we changed the policy and emptied the field. Now the "LocAllProxy_HTTP" field is empty in the policy.

But this value is not set in the location documents of the user, neither with option "Set value whenever modified" nor with "Set value and prevent changes".

Is it possible, that Policy never writes "Empty" Values to Location document? How can I get rid of that values nevertheless?

Hi Torsten,
i know the problem.
We encountered it before when removing management settings
for "Sametime."

Solution: BCC ClientGenie, Marvel Client, or script code.

Hi Mike,

thank you for the response. I know that our product "BCC ClientGenie" can do this, but unfortunately I could not yet convince this specific customer to buy it ;-)

Hello @Torsten Link

Domino policies do not automatically push "empty" values to fields in user documents. This means that if a policy field is cleared, it won't overwrite an existing value in the Location document with an empty one.

Please refer the following published article for workaround to clear values using Lotus Script Button.
