NCDAEMON.EXE McAfee 8.7i Patch 1

When making a user’s mail database available offline, many users will receive a black command window via NCDAEMON.EXE asking for their password.

This behavior can be suppressed by going into User Security and checking the box for “Don’t prompt for a password from other Notes-based programs.”

This problem seems to have co-incided with our rollout of McAfee VirusScan 8.7i with Patch 1.

I know NCDAEMON.EXE is part of McAfee’s scanner interface to Lotus Notes. Is there a way we can fix this without going to each machine and checking this box? Either through a Notes policy or by modifying the settings for McAfee?

Subject: Not via Notes presently…

If you would be interested in having this functionality within a future release of Notes/Domino, contact IBM Lotus Support and request to be added to the list of Customers for the Enhancement Request (i.e. SPR) noted in this TechNote:
