Lotus Notes 8.5.2 Multiuser Install on Terminal Server with minor issue (fx not working)

HCL Domino Domino Forum

We were able to successfully install Notes Client on Terminal Server with one hiccup - We still use FX and FX likes a notes.ini file in the executable directory. (but multi-user installs do not like that.)

We tried changing registry parameters with no luck. (notes.link)

Even hard coded Notes link to = C:\ibm\Lotus\Notes\Notes.exe U:\notes\notes.ini

but that did not work. It launched the ole but did not send data to the ole.

And if you have a notes.ini in the c:\ibm\lotus\notes directory, it tends to override your users notes.ini file in their u:\notes directory, even if you use the shortcut pointing to their ini, “=u:\notes\notes.ini”

Anyone have any solutions/ideas?

Subject: NTFS Symlinks?

Symlinks are apparently available on Windows 2008. You might be able to create a symlink to notes.ini in your Notes program directory that points back to the user’s data directory.

Not exactly sure how’d that work with multiple users in a Citrix environment.

There doesn’t appear to be a way to make NotesFX use the notes.ini in the data directory.
