Is there some way to restrict Smart Upgrade (done using SURunAs) by link speed? With the goal being to stop people from upgrading Notes when using bad connections like some vpn connection via their hotel when on the road. Wouldn’t mind also limiting out our users who use wireless when in the office.
Subject: Restrict Smart Upgrade to ranges of IP addresses
Another option, restrict Smart Upgrade to ranges of IP addresses, for example10.10.1.*
10.17.*
and so on.
We already use different file servers for different locales and the authorization to each kit is controlled so that people upgrade from the server associated with where they normally work out of.
Subject: ipconfig perhaps?
Thought about fronting it with a DOS batch file similar to:
:: checkIP.bat
:: Ensure that someone upgrading Notes is running from a valid IP address
:: Do not echo the commands back to the screen
@ECHO OFF
:: make a \tmp directory if it doesn’t already exist.
md \tmp
ipconfig >\tmp\ipconfigout.txt
:: Verify that the “IP Address” line contains a valid IP address.
:: if it does, then run surunas with it’s plethora of parameters.
My PC programming skills are a bit rusty.
Subject: Working solution
Smart upgrade kit has:\ptint\Lotus\8.5.2_notes_designer_admin\SUbatch.cmd
And my initial cmd file looks like
@echo off
ipconfig | find /I “IP Address.” | find “: 10.” | find “.7.” > nul:
if not errorlevel 1 goto DOSU
ipconfig | find /I “IP Address.” | find “: 10.” | find “.9.” > nul:
if not errorlevel 1 goto DOSU
ipconfig | find /I “IP Address.” | find “: 10.10.8” > nul:
if not errorlevel 1 goto DOSU
ipconfig | find /I “IP Address.” | find “: 10.17.9” > nul:
if not errorlevel 1 goto DOSU
@echo Smart Upgrade not available from this location. You must be connected within a Dekko building.
pause
Goto End
:DoSU
if “%1”==“” @Echo Need to add the SU program parameters.
if “%1”==“” @pause
%1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
:End

But I’d still like to add the list of allowable IP addresses on the admin tab of the smart upgrade kit.
Subject: Multiple IP addresses
I have a user who, when he runs the following:ipconfig | find /I “IP Address.”
gets this:
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.111
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.110
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 10.10.2.130
Apparently this has something to do with Bluetooth, Wireless and Lan all active. Getting multiple IP addresses makes simple piping a tough task.
