Multi-user install for all clients...?

HCL Domino Domino Forum

We have many visitors from other offices, and we don’t have Kiosk type of systems set up, so we normally have a visitor use one of my users’ Lotus Notes after we create a location document for the visitor and do switch ID.

Our helpdesk (who does the set up) complained about that today and suggested to start setting up all clients with multi-user install. (all clients are currently set up with single-user install except a few Lotus Notes in manufacturing facility)

My question is…

  1. Do you think it’s a good idea to set up all clients with multi-user install? Does anyone know any downfall to this? I thought it was a pretty good idea and couldn’t think of any thing bad except…here comes question #2…

  2. Can clients with multi-user install use smart upgrade?

We are in the process of rolling out 30,000 clients as multi-user installs. We don’t see any issues from a functional perspective, but from a support perspective it is a big change due to the new multiple file locations.We don’t use smart upgrade so I don’t have an answer to your second question.

Thank you Paul :-)It’s comforting to know that you are doing the same for 30,000 clients, wow! (we only have 500…) Thanks again & good luck!

Btw, does anyone has an answer to my second question???
