Using Policies to Disable Symphony Embedded in Notes Client

We are working on a Notes 8.5 client upgrade and are considering using embedded Symphony to replace MS Office in the near future. The idea is to install Notes with the editors, but to disable them until we are ready to roll them out and provide training.

We’ve created a Symphony setting which disables Symphony and and applied it to users, but it does not seem to take effect.

I also set the Allow IBM Symphony flag (checked), saved and then set back to off (unchecked) just to make sure the field had data (isIBMProdToolsEnbld=“0”).

Thanks

Steve

Subject: The policy should take effect when Notes client connected to Domino server.

Have you added policies under Domino Directory - People (Group) - Policies? Did you assign the policy to the group or specific user?

Please refer to Domino Policies - FAQ on how to use Policy Synopsis tool:
