IBM® Domino 10.0.1 Documentation
Welcome to the IBM® Domino 10.0.1 Administrator Help.
- What's new in IBM® Domino® 10?
  Learn about all of the new features for administrators in IBM® Domino® 10.
- Overview
  Welcome to IBM® Domino® Administrator Help.
- Installing
  Use this documentation to install the IBM® Domino® server and subsequently deploy the IBM Notes® client.
  - Installing and upgrading Domino® servers
    Perform a new or upgrade install of one or many Domino® servers.
  - Installing and upgrading Notes® clients
    - Using Notes® Auto Update
      You don't have to rely on third-party products to automate deployment of new versions and updates of IBM® Notes®. Instead, you can enable Auto Update (AUT) servers to deploy Notes updates automatically.
    - Customizing Notes® installation
      As an administrator, you can customize the Notes® install and upgrade process for your users to install just the features that they need. For example, you can customize the install kit using MSI tuner capabilities and you can also customize the install kit to add or remove Eclipse-based features.
    - Specifying custom data directories for multi-user install or upgrade
      You can configure Notes® custom data directories during Notes multi-user install or upgrade on Windows™ or Citrix XenApp.
    - Understanding the Notes® single user to multi-user migration assistant tool
      The single-user to multi-user migration tool converts a Notes® single-user installation to a multi-user installation.
    - Using the Notes® Install Cleanup Utility (NICE) tool
      You can use the supplied Notes® Install Cleanup Executable (NICE) tool to clean up a failed install, failed uninstall, or failed upgrade. You can also use the tool to uninstall an existing version of Notes, and clean up extraneous files, before performing an upgrade installation. The tool is available for Notes on supported Windows™ platforms only, and must be run by an administrator.
    - Automating a customized or default Notes® deployment using silent install
      You can use a silent install to deploy a default or customized Notes® release to users without user intervention. This enables centralized Notes install or upgrade deployment to many users without requiring user intervention.
      - Considerations when planning a Notes® silent install or upgrade
        Silent install is useful for installing, reinstalling, or upgrading Notes® on the MSI command line or as part of a script or batch file process.
      - Running a Notes® silent install or upgrade using optional arguments
        You can use optional command line arguments when running a Notes® install or upgrade from the MSI command line.
      - Using the install manifest "default" setting for silent feature specification
        During a silent install, specify the features to install using the following information as a guide.
      - Performing a Notes® silent install or upgrade on Windows™
        MSI command line arguments are available, and may be required, for running a Notes® command line install to add or remove Notes client features during initial install, release upgrade, or within the same Notes release.
      - Example: Using setup.exe to call a transform file during Notes® silent install
        You can optionally call a transform file (.mst) during Notes® silent install on a supported Windows™ platform.
      - Performing a Notes® silent install on Mac OS X
        You can run a Notes® silent install on Mac OS X.
      - Example: Creating and providing a batch file for Notes® silent install
        You can create and provide a batch file for users that executes a Notes® silent install.
      - Example: Sharing command line utilities for installing Notes®
        You can provide command line utilities to users to enable them to more easily install Notes® themselves.
      - Enabling Notes® Client Single Logon during install or upgrade
        Use this procedure to enable Client Single Logon during Notes® install or upgrade. Client Single Logon synchronizes a user's Windows™ password with their Notes password.
      - 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.
    - Installing and upgrading Notes® in a single user environment
      You can install Notes® on Microsoft™ Windows™ or Citrix platforms in a single user environment using either the Notes-only or the Notes Allclient installer.
    - Installing and upgrading Notes® multi-user
      Installing Notes® in a multi-user user environment enables multiple users to sequentially log in to the same machine and use the same Notes install directory with their own Notes data directory.
    - Installing a non-English version of Notes®
      Notes® is available for install and upgrade in multiple languages.
    - Adding or removing installed Notes® features within a release
      Optionally add new features, or remove installed features, by rerunning the Notes® installation executable within the same release.
    - Managing client plug-in deployment
      While you can customize your client installer to add new or remove supplied features and plug-ins when you install or upgrade your clients, you can also provision (install and automatically update) stand-alone or third party features and plug-ins to your existing Notes® or Lotus® Expeditor run-time using a combination of Domino® policy or Eclipse preferences, a widget resident in a widgets catalog on an HTTP or Domino server, and a Eclipse update site (with signed features and plugin .jar files) optionally resident in a centrally managed NSF-based update site.
    - Uninstalling Notes®
      While it is not necessary to uninstall Notes® to upgrade to a new release, you should uninstall a Beta release before upgrading.
  - Upgrading
    Use this documentation to upgrade the existing Domino® server and subsequently upgrade the Notes® client to a new release. You can also upgrade additional clients such as Domino Administrator and Domino Designer clients and additional features and plug-ins such as the embedded IBM® Sametime® client.

Using the install manifest "default" setting for silent feature specification

During a silent install, specify the features to install using the following information as a guide.

Considerations when installing Notes® on a system on which a Notes® installation does not currently exist:

If the ADDFEATURES property is specified on the command line, use that property to determine which installfeatures (in the install.xml file) should be installed.
If ADDFEATURES is not specified on command line, use the "default" setting of each installfeature (in the install manifest) to determine if a feature should be installed.
In this situation, the only installfeatures that will be installed if "default" is set to "true" are those where the "show" attribute is also set to "true" -- these are the installfeatures that would have appeared in the Notes® feature installation panel.

Considerations when installing Notes® on a system in which an upgradable version of Notes® exists:

You can use the ADDFEATURES property on the MSI command line to specify which installfeatures should be installed or upgraded when you run the setup.exe command line.
You can use the REMOVEFEATURES property on the MSI command line to specify which installfeatures to remove from the existing install when you run the setup.exe command line.
