Does the notes.ini have a parameter for a sametime server?We are getting ready to roll out a large number of notes clients, and want to preset the sametime server in the notes.ini file (if that is possible). If not, Is there an easy way to set the sametime server name in the location document?
Thanks
Helen

There is no Sametime parameter in the Notes.ini other than ones you might put in. In our enviroment we are upgrading to 6.5.4 from R5.11. We used formula language to set the location document for the sametime server. But, you can use the Install Tuner on your Domino installation CD to assist you with that. Hope this helps!

Hi Rick,Would it be possible to share that formula with me?
Thanks

You might want to try the Sametime forum…located on the right down under the links. I find that specific forum to be more knowledeable than this forum on sametime issues.

Helen - we had to open a ticket with IBM/Lotus to get our awareness issues working on our servers. They (the DWA - Domino Web Access team) provided me with two server.ini file settings:
iNotes_WA_STLinksLocal=0
iNotes_WA_SametimeServer=<YourSTServerName.comNameHere>
I believe the first setting → iNotes_WA_STLinksLocal=0 is used to tell Domino to NOT bother looking into the Person record’s SametimeServer field for the Sametime servername, instead, look for the other server.ini setting of → iNotes_WA_SametimeServer= setting. Hope this helps.

You could create a Desktop policy to set the Instant Messaging server or for example write a script to cycle through the locations in the local nab and set the messaging server when they click on a button in an email or open a doc or database.
