Together with Henning Kunz (we're both from www.domblog.de), I'd like to present something about managing Notes clients. It's a updated and optimized session from what we held at ILUG 2008.

 

The Notes client can be installed in various ways. Starting at a pure CD installation answering the questions of the installwizards ending up in a fully customized installation distributing the clientparts as a bundle of registry keys files and scripts or as a customzied MSI package. There are a lot of different needs to support the Notes client in companies. Like supporting a travelling salesmen using a mobile Notes client, never showing up at a companies location and supporting an office worker, having his Notes client in a session on a big multilanguage terminalserver farm. After discussing the most common requirements the session will dive into detail about the client components and on howto distribute which parts to which places to satisfy which requirements. Expect some tips and tricks to create leanest client installations. Covered Topics:

• What is an implementation standard and what is it good for?
• Fully automated deployments must base on standardize installations
• User support depends badly on standardized installations
• Tips and tricks
• Lean Client
• Centrally stored client templates
• Single client supporting multiple languages
• Lean terminalserver installation
• All about roaming
