I am planning to use setup.txt when installing Notes Client 655. it’s worked but ask somes always manipulations …
1> We have to modify the setup.txt to put it the name of the person, modify the name og the person, the name of the id
2> edit the notes.ini to add in th line configfile=.…
3>Copy the id of the person in the data directory
It takes also many long times is you this manually copy paste …etc I am sure that if i configure manually the connection wizard it takes less time, because if you are 25 pc to do , you o tyhe manupulation 25 times * 3
It is possible to do it automatically ? when install lotus put it directly the line configfile … with policies , i don’t know ? or with others things …
Subject: Scriptable Setup - so allways manipulation to do !! can we optimise it ?
Hi, yes it’s possible to do it.
I did something similar for a client.
1- the user is register in the nab
2- after, we have a process that scan the nab for news users.
3- It detach the user ID to a specific network drive based on the user name , because the user name matches the personnal network drive of the user
4- copy a dummy notes.ini file with the configfile= line.
5- we copy a dummy Setup.txt file to the user network drive,
fill it with his personnal info -Username, mailServer, mailfile etc.
6- We send an welcome email to the user with a button in it to finish the install (For exmaple to desactivate PORTS= settings)
The user is not forced to click the button, he will still be able to work. But we keep a trace if the user click on the button or not.
Then, when the user starts his Lotus Notes for the first time, the configfile use the setup.txt file that is already configure for taht specific user.
No more work on the computer.

Domino.Name=servername/SOCIETE
Domino.Address=10.145.24.44
Domino.Port=TCPIP
Domino.Server=1
AdditionalServices=0
AdditionalServices.NetworkDial=0
Replication.Threshold=9999
Replication.Schedule=0
a notesini with the line add
[Notes]
KitType=1
Directory=D:\lotus\notes\data
UserInterface=fr
InstallType=6
FaultRecovery_Build=Release 6.5.5
DSTLAW=3,-1,1,10,-1,1
ConfigFile=d:\lotus\notes\data\setup.txt
