Has anyone created a button that could be mailed to users that would do the File-Tools-Notes Smart Upgrade action?
We have created the Smart Upgrade Database & Policy’s which work great so far with our Pilot users… But knowing most end users won’t want to click the “Update Now” button first thing in the morning when the Policy would go into affect and then it wouldn’t prompt them again until the next morning…
We’d like to send them e-mail the morning we want them to upgrade that would have a button in it that would do the File-Tools- Notes Smart Upgrade. Of course, if they don’t click it that day, they will be prompted the next morning, but at least we give them an option.
We are upgrading most users from R6.5.6 to R8.5
Thanks,
Shane Meisner

Using the following gets to the setup process but requires the user to click the next buttons instead of just doing the install.
plat:=@Platform;
path := “q:\Server\path\Lotus\DominoUpgrade\Setup.exe”;
@PostedCommand([Execute];path;W32Arguments)
Hopefully I’ll be able to create a mst package for a silent install and just point to that file…

The way you are doing it with code is NOT Smart Upgrade (but you probably already know that!) You can probably pass the arguments to make the install silent and do it that way (or just wait a day and have SU do it!)

3 years and still counting… Guess we need to think of something else…
