I have a requirement at a customer to do the Notes 8.5.x upgrade from 6.5.x using ONLY a MSI file and an MST file. This means no command line options, no script wrapper NOTHING other than the MSI and an MST. This is because they are using the Active Directory GPO for the upgrade and that seems to be all you can define. There is no room for negotiation on this topic because their #1 requirement is that the upgrade occur while the user is not logged in.
Their other requirement is that “Client Single Logon Feature” be installed too. The problem is that based on experience and technote #1180920 you need to use the ADDLOCAL=ClientSingleLogon in the invocation of the MSI to get it installed even if you turn it on in the MST when you are doing an upgrade. Does anyone have an idea of how I can make this happen straight from the MST?
BTW, please don’t suggest “Shared Logon” through policy as a solution. Based on customer requirements this is non-negotiable also.
You were 100% correct that adding it to the properties table works but the problem is that the install behaves very badly (just as Lotus warns it will). It just uninstalls the old version. Apparently you can’t enable this feature during an upgrade only on a clean install or when you are already on the correct version.
Greetings,I’m tasked with the same scenario. Currently we’re on Notes Client 7.0.3 and need to upgrade to 8.5.2 via Active Directory software installation. I’m curious, how’d your upgrade go?
Everything is working fine, but the ClientSingleLogon Feature is not installed. I enabled it by setting the Display value to 1 and the Level value to 1
but it did not work. It not displayed during setup and not installed.
