    - Upgrading Domino® servers
      Upgrading a Domino® server refers to installing a new release of Domino software.
    - Upgrading Notes® clients
      You can push an upgrade to Notes® clients using Notes Smart Upgrade or other third party mechanism, Smart Upgrade Run-As wizard (SURUNAS), or Upgrade-by-mail. You can also upgrade Notes clients using the Notes installation executable either silently (command line) or using the installer's graphical user interface. The supplied installation executable is used for an initial install or an upgrade install.
      - Backing up and restoring Notes® client files
        Domino® administrators should periodically back up Notes® applications and files for users.
      - Upgrading from Notes® single user to Notes® multi-user
        While it is not possible to upgrade from a Notes® single user installation to a Notes multi-user installation during an upgrade install, you can use the supplied Notes® single user to multi-user migration assistant tool to migrate an existing single user installation to a multi-user installation within the same release and then run the upgrade install.
      - Using Notes® Smart Upgrade
        IBM® Notes® Smart Upgrade is a administrative tool for pushing Notes client upgrades to users. Smart Upgrade notifies users to upgrade their Notes clients by a stated date and simplifies the upgrade process by essentially performing the upgrade the task with little or no user intervention.
      - Using the Smart Upgrade Run-As wizard
        Use the Smart Upgrade Run-As wizard (SUSETRUNASWIZARD.EXE) to create an executable file (SURUNAS.EXE) that Notes® client users, running on Microsoft™ Windows™, can run to upgrade their Notes clients. SURUNAS is ideal for pushing Notes client upgrades to users who do not have administrator or elevated privileges.
      - Using Upgrade-by-mail
        Upgrade-by-mail sends an e-mail notification to users instructing them to upgrade their Notes® client and optionally, their mail file template. You can also use Upgrade-by-mail to notify users that their mail files have been migrated to Notes® mail.
        Creating the Notes® upgrade-by-mail user notification
        Upgrade-by-mail notifies users to upgrade their Notes® client, and optionally their mail template. The notification message includes options to start the upgrade.

Using Upgrade-by-mail

Upgrade-by-mail sends an e-mail notification to users instructing them to upgrade their Notes® client and optionally, their mail file template. You can also use Upgrade-by-mail to notify users that their mail files have been migrated to Notes® mail.

The upgrade notification contains two options that users click to upgrade their client and mail file.

Note: Upgrade-by-mail is not available for iNotes® users.

Install Notes – starts the Notes® install program from a directory on am accessible network drive
Upgrade Mail File – replaces the user's current mail template with another mail template
Note: If you do not complete the Mail Template Information section in the upgrade-by-mail notification form, the Upgrade Mail File option does not appear in the e-mail notification.
Note: To use Upgrade-by-mail to upgrade mail file templates, users must have at least Designer access to their mail application. Otherwise, use the mail conversion utility to update mail file templates.

Before you begin the process for creating the notification, do the following:

Back up the Notes® client.
Create an installation directory on a Domino® server or a file server to which users have network access, then copy all Notes® install directories and files to this folder.
