We are in the process of migrating to ND 8.5.1. I want to customise the 8.5.1 mail template to ensure that DAOS is enabled for all mail files that will be upgraded. I have defined Create_R85_Databases=1 in my Notes.ini, created a local copy of the mail template, confirmed that the ODS is 51, and used DDE to do all our other business-specific customisations. However, the “Use Domino Attachment and Object service” option in the advanced properties of the template is still greyed out. Is there something else I need to do?
Subject: DAOS greyed out
The properties dialog will grey out the option unless the db is both ODS51 and transaction logged (which is probably the problem here).
However you should be able to set the property in the template from the console using
compact -daos on mail85.ntf (or whatever the template name is)
you should also be able to set it using the admin application to set advanced properties
you can verify that it is set using the
sh dir (show directory) command
let us know if this does not work

I was able to use the Advanced Properties in Domino Administrator 8.5.1 to resolve this.
