SharedDataDirectory - does it work?

We use Notes in a Terminal server environment where each user has its onw datadirectory on the network.

To be able to get rid of the templates in the users’ datadirectories I would like to use a SharedDataDirectory where the shared files (such as templates) can be found.

I included SharedDataDirectory in my notes.ini but it does not seem to work.

Any sugestions?

Subject: FYI - Yes it does…

It seems the client is looking in the path given by SharedDataDirectory optionally appended with Mui plus the value of the UserInterface setting.For example:

UserInterface=NL

SharedDataDirectory=c:\NotesSharedData

Results in: C:\NotesSharedData\Mui\NL.…

Hi Duco,

I tried it also, but no way do make the client use the SharedDataDirectory.

So, could you tell me:

1/ what type of Notes Client you choose on the TS ? Multi-user or not ?

2/ Do you still have the Directory parameter in the notes.ini pointing on the user’s notes\data dir containing his own files ?

3/ Do you change spmtehing to the registry or to each user’s notes.ini file before letting the users launch their new Notes Client ?

Thanks for your help.
