I am running Traveler 12.0 on Domino 11.0.1FP3. Can I support both mobile Verse and HTMO clients on the same Traveler server? Or do I need separate servers because of the NTS_OUTLOOK_ONLY=true notes.ini setting?
No, AFAIK it is not supported. You need separate Traveler servers for Outlook and mobile clients.
There is an idea on AHA. You can vote for it to increase priority for developers: Allow Traveler on single server to serve | HCL Domino Ideas Portal
Hi.
Currently, no. You need a standalone Traveler server for that.
You may vote on the following feature request for it:

Hello @Scot Wolcott, You would need separate servers for HTMO because Traveler Server for Mobile users and outlook will not work together.
But yes you can still add "NTS_OUTLOOK_ONLY=true" on the Notes.INI file of an existing Traveler server that caters to other clients.
The said parameter would only let Traveler know that HTMO/IMSMO clients are allowed on that server. But it is NOT recommended for production environments.
Thanks!

Hello Scott,
You can also refer the Traveler System requirements documentation.

Outlook on Windows requires a dedicated HCL Traveler server configured for Microsoft Outlook support (except for proof of concept deployments). See Configuring Traveler for use with Outlook.

The sync characteristics of the desktop HTMO client and mobile are significantly different (HTMO syncs all folders). In addition, HTMO requires a local mail replica on the Traveler server whereas mobile clients do not. So as correctly stated above by many contributors, we direct you to not combine the usage. However, we do understand that for many customers with a small number of users it is not practical to dedicate separate Traveler servers for this usage. We are working on supporting a small server environment with both HTMO and mobile clients.

With the 12.0.1 release of Traveler, it now supports running a single server (Traveler+mail server) with a mix of HTMO and mobile clients (up to 500 clients), using the built-in Derby SQL database.

Thanks Curtis. So I think I am going to leave my Traveler server (for Mobile Clients) on its own. However, I was wondering if it would be recommended to install Traveler for HTMO on an existing mail server? So this server would serve both Notes and HTMO clients. The server hosts about 350 mailboxes now and is a clustered mail server. Would this be an acceptable setup?
That's an expected setup in your scenario. However, since this is a mail cluster, it normally will require Traveler to be set up in an HA configuration (w/enterprise db) to allow for failover from primary to secondary mail files (unless that's not important).

I would love to know if anyone has a large deployment of Outlook clients being used. We have seen sync issues, duplication of folders/e-mail, missing e-mail and client registry errors regularly. I had to scale back its usage since it was so time consuming to support.
I see most issues with people who have a lot of e-mails and folders.
I was glad to see that the current HTMO client did fix the internal repair process via the GUI vs command line.
Thanks for your feedback!
