I can appreciate that the policies are aimed at helping you install Notes in a set way across your community, but does anyone know of a straightforward way to remove certain locations whilst installing Notes?
Ideally I would like just 3, Office, Local (Connected), and Local (Disconneted), We use Cytrix for dial in so wouldn’t really make use of any of the other Locations, and it would be much tidier without the others adding confusion to the good old users
Many thanks, Stuart

I have seen customers take this approach:
Modify postopen even of bookmark.ntf to do custom client config and put in installation package
At Notes installation, the client will build a new bookmark.nsf based on this template
When the client opens, the postopen event will run and modify any settings for which you have coded
So for locations, loop through those in names.nsf and remove the ones you don’t want and change any settings on those you keep.

I would presume arranging for those Location documents you want in the pernames.ntf, would do the trick.

It’s a logicial thought except that they do not exist in pernames.ntf. They seem to be created when the client is installed using an internal process.
Anyone have any ideas??

If pernames.ntf (and its corresponding blank/new names.nsf) has no location documents when Notes starts, Notes does create 6 default location documents.Now, you should be to take a new names.nsf created from your pernames.ntf, delete the 6 default location documents, create your three custom location documents, update the Preferences tab to remove your name from the owner field and then install this new blank names.nsf and the pernames.ntf in the user’s data directory.
This will only work if you are in fact starting with new users, if you are looking to do this for old users, then you need to use some agent code to delete existing Location documents and either create new ones on the fly or have a Location2 form with pre-configured ones and copy the docs and set their form type to “Location”
