Notes 8 MUI in Terminal Server

Hello, I’m trying to install Notes Client 8.0.1 Basic on a Windows 2003 Terminal Server environment.I know that’s an unsupported environment but the customer don’t want to buy Citrix and want to try with Terminal Server.

The installation works fine, I have installed the program exe in c:\Lotus\Notes and template in c:\Lotus\ClientTemplate.

To load the Client users launch this simple batch:

if not exist \server\notesdata$%username% md \server\notesdata$%username%

net use L: /delete

net use L: \server\notesdata$%username%

if not exist L:\notes md L:\notes

if not exist L:\notes\data md L:\notes\data

if not exist L:\notes\data\notes.ini xcopy /s C:\Lotus\ClientTemplate*.* L:\notes\data

c:\lotus\notes\notes.exe =L:\notes\data\notes.ini

The batch verify that the notes.ini exist, if not exist create the data directory and copy into the new data dir the blank profile.

The notes.ini in the ClientTemplate directory is this:

[Notes]

KitType=1

InstallType=2

InstallMode=1

Directory=L:\notes\data

SPELL_DIR=L:\notes\data

SUDIALOG_ON=0

Everything works fine, I have configured about ten users and they can launch Notes client and open mail and application db. The problem is with the localization: I have installed the Italian version of Notes, but the users see the English version!

I have tried to add this lines to the notes.ini:

UserInterface=it

Region=it

AltNameLanguage=it

ContentLanguage=it

but when I start the client appear this error message:

The language specified for the User Interface is not found in your notes\MUI directory (may have been uninstalled); proceeding with the default language.

I have tried everything (copy the mui directory into the notes\data directory of the users, reinstall the client both in single users and multiuser, …) but without results. I have also tried with the 7.0.3 but is the same.

Anyone can help me???

Thank you very much,

Fabio
