Hello,
I´ve a problem to start the Lotus Notes Client 8.5 on a Windows 2008 Terminal Server 32/64 bit after a few sec. after I start the Client the start process will be interrupted.
On the other hand is the Lotus Notes Client 8.x supported on Windows 2008 Terminal Server?
Thanks in advance for reply
Reinhard

we test and support Citrix, but not WTS, at this time. You can find the supported platforms in the Release Notes.
Subject: 8.5.1 works in Terminal Server 2003 32/64 bit
It was officially not supported.
But after many days of trying, I finally get it to works.
For those who want to try R8.5.1 muti-user installation on the terminal server 2003, may follow the below steps:
1)After installed the 8.5.1, search the notes,ini and it should not appear in the windows folder. Delete it if you found it there.
[Notes]
KitType=1
SharedDataDirectory=C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Lotus\Notes\Data\Shared
InstallType=6
[HKLM\Software\Lotus\Notes\DataPath] Remove the value.
[HKLM\Software\Lotus\Notes\MultiUser] Change the value from 0 to 1.
[HKLM\Software\Lotus\Notes\8.0\DataPath] Remove the value.
[HKLM\Software\Lotus\Notes\8.0\MultiUser] Change the value from 0 to 1.
Good Luck.

Subject: Calendar view misbehaviour on TS
Hi all,been following your tips for LN 8.5.1 on TS, and it works, but some users are experiencing a strange behaviour: calendar entries are displayed in the wrong time slots on the Calendar view (they all have a three hours offset). If they open the calendar entry, time is correct (and also time zone is correct), so it seems to be a Calendar View display problem).
Already checked time, time zone, TS Time Zone redirection, client time & zone, nothing wrong.
Cannot reproduce the issue with my account, but those 3 users (out of 30) always get the wrong time displayed in the view.
Any clue?
Subject: Any luck with TS?
Hi Marco,
Have you had any luck resolving this issue of incorrect times on Windows 2008 Terminal Server?
In the Java views, we rely on the JRE to indicate the correct time zone information.
You can run the following TimeTest.class to see what the JRE thinks is the correct time.
Running TimeTest.class to obtain JRE time zone information
import java.util.*;
public class TimeTest{
public static void main(String args){
TimeZone tz = TimeZone.getDefault();
System.out.println(new Date());
System.out.println( tz);
System.out.println( tz.getID()) ;
System.out.println( tz.getDisplayName()) ;
System.out.println( "Curently " + ( tz.inDaylightTime( new Date() ) ? "in " : "not in " ) + "daylight-savings time." ) ;
}
}
Windows
Create a new file named TimeTest.java and paste the above Java code to the file.
Save this file to a local folder, e.g. c:\TimeTest
Open a command prompt
Set the CLASSPATH to include the current directory and the Notes jvm, e.g.,
set CLASSPATH=.;“c:\Program Files\IBM\Lotus\Notes\jvm”
Compile TimeTest, javac
C:\TimeTest>javac TimeTest.java
Run TimeTest.class
java TimeTest.class
A running example,
C:$time>dir

Volume Serial Number is 0E51-61D6

Subject: Terminal Server 2008 with Notes 8.51
We installed similiar to this and other citrx installations.
But, we have had problems with the installation related to ole and system crashes. When we start Notes Client with “C:\Program Files\IBM\Lotus\notes\notes.exe” =u:\notes\notes.ini where u is the mapped user drive everything works properly except any ole object. The system crashes when launching any ole object. But if we start the notes client without the redirected ini file, ole works, but everyone is sharing the same ini file. Which causes problems, especially related to the key file, the user.id. We are working around this by naming all the user files the same, u:\notes\user.id. The same file name works, because they are all in different mapped directories.
But I am sure we will run into bumps, because some variables stored in the ini will ultimately be different per user and cause problems.
We will continue to wait for IBM to support Terminal Server, if ever. But for today, this is a work around for us.
Subject: Are you using 8.5.1 Standard or Basic
Would be interested to know if you are using the full Eclipse standard version or just the Win32 basic client?
Kind regards
