Notes 8.5.1 brings great new parameters when installing the client on a Citrix XenApp server.
For example you can set the base directory for individual user settings with MULTIUSERBASEDIR and the base directory for common user settings with MULTIUSERCOMMONDIR.
An example for a possible setup cmd would be:
setup.exe /v"SETMULTIUSER=1 CITRIX=1 MULTIUSERBASEDIR=c:\users!username!\AppData\Roaming MULTIUSERCOMMONDIR=C:\ProgramData"
(more details abou that can be found in the admin online help - thank you Jeff!)
As result of this example you will get a directory structure like:
c:\users\pmeuser\AppData\Roaming\Lotus\Notes.…
c:\ProramData\Lotus\Notes.…
Now my question:
If you already have deployed a former Notes version (say 8.5) on your 10+ XenApp servers for your 200+ users and used to choose other path names, that do not include “Lotus\Notes”. Now you want to have a smooth upgrade to Notes 8.5.1. How to you get this result with the new command line parameters?
Of course you may fix all the paths in the existing notes.ini files of your users and move according the user’s files, but this should not be necessary, or is it?
