Setting up Notes® installation using scriptable setup
The scriptable setup option uses the CONFIGFILE=
setting
in the NOTES.INI file to provide user information
for the setup phase of the Notes® installation
program.
The CONFIGFILE=
setting in the NOTES.INI file
points to a text file (for example ConfigFile=C:\Program Files\IBM\Notes\Data\setup.txt
)
that contains the Notes® users'
setup parameters that you want to pass to the installer for use in
configuring the user after installation is complete. The Notes® installer processes the contents of this
file to complete the user's setup. The user is able to bypass
any install screen panels or prompts for which parameters have been
provided in the setup.txt file.
The settings that you can configure in the text file are as follows:
Setting | Description |
---|---|
Username |
User's hierarchical name -- for example, John Smith/Acme |
KeyfileName |
Directory path to the user's ID file name --for example, c:\program files\ibm\notes\data\jsmith.id |
