Configuring
Use this information to configure an IBM® Domino® network, users, servers (including Web servers), directory services, security, messaging, widgets and live text, and server clusters. Also use this information to set up IBM iNotes® on a server using Domino Off-Line Services (DOLS).
Configuring users and servers
Topics in this section describe how to set up users and servers.
Managing users
The Administration Process helps you manage users by automating many of the associated administrative tasks. For example, if you rename a user, the Administration Process automates changing the name throughout databases in the Notes® domain by generating and carrying out a series of requests, which are posted in the Administration Requests database.
Broadcasting messages to Notes® client users
Use the IBM® Domino® Administrator to broadcast messages to one or more IBM Notes® client workstations. Messages can be broadcast to display in dialog boxes or in the status bar on the Notes client workstations.
