WAN issues with smart upgrade

Hi,

We have upgraded our Domino server to 7.0.2 and are now looking to use smart upgrade to deploy Lotus Notes 7.0.2 to our clients.

We have 5 geographic sites, each with their own file server which will host a share containing the smart upgrade package. I’m after some advice on the best/most efficient way to design smart upgrade policy for our company.

For example, User Joe Bloggs is a laptop user registered in OU London to company XYZ = Joe Bloggs/London/XYZ

The London site has a local Windows file server called LONDONSERVER. The decompressed smart upgrade package is held on a share on LONDONSERVER:

\LONDONSERVER\NOTES702\SETUP.EXE

Then we have another site in Scotland, user Fred Bloggs is registered in OU Scotland for the same company, i.e. Fred Bloggs/Scotland/XYZ.

Scotland have their own file server called SCOTLANDSERVER and the package again is decompressed and hosted on a share.

I want to ensure users only pull the download across the LAN and not the WAN.

So if London user Joe Bloggs was connected to our Scotland network, I would want the package to be downloaded from the Scotland file server and not the London server.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Claire.
