The customer has a Desktop Setting that needs to be implemented. Most users at customers site uses roaming.
Most of the roaming users which have this setting does not properly receive it.
The roaming users which have this problem receive only parts of the desktop setting.
The only workaround so far that I found is to start with a completly new names.nsf! With this fresh names.nsf everything works as intended.
In the roaming catalog of the users: I have tried to replace design to the latest and greatest design of names.nsf (pernames.ntf is version 9 which is included in Notes 9.0.1) on the server directly. But it does not help. I have tried fixup, compact, updall -R.
But only a complete removal of Names.nsf in the roaming\ catalog and create a new one. Then remove it locally for the user. Then everything works again.
I have put this values into a notes.ini (in the shared data directory) Notes client that is totally new (= no data directory created yet). And the Client Configuration Wizard gets broken since it keep asking for an ID-file.
So this can only be used after databases has been roamed down from server.
I add
setup=48
templatesetup=48
to a roamed users Notes.ini and restart Notes klient. The design of bookmark.nsf and names.nsf gets updated but the policys does not work. The client gets restared several times during an hour where mail file is opened each time, but policy does not bite. I also remove everything from $Policys view in local names.nsf and wait until it gets populated again. Still no luck with the policy.
There is a hidden view in the local names.nsf called ($policies) delete all documents in this view.
If the names.nsf has not been redesigned you call force the client at start up to redesign the files by changing the following in the notes.ini with the client down
setup=48
templatesetup=48
If you want to force compact on all the files to the latest ods add/change NSF_UpdateODS=1
Once you restart the client you should have all db upgraded and the standard local dbs redesigned to the Notes 9.01 version. After a few minutes you should also have the user policies downloaded to the local names.nsf
If all this works then you can just email a button to all users to click that will do the above steps.
Desktop settings for Roaming Users cannot be “set initial”, it has to be “set value and prevent changes”. Clearing out the $policys view is not enough.
