At work we have a lot of users that are set up to use Lotus Notes ver 6.5.4 for accessing databases but NOT for mail.
for some of the users that do have mail access to lotus Notes, there data files and .ini file are on there personal drive on a server so when they use Notes they can access there notes configuration from any PC.

I want to know how we can set up the other users for this as seamlessly as possible.
Basically we do not want to have the users to have to go through another set up process.
We can access there notes ID's and place them on their network drives, set the links on there desktop to the point to the network. but in testing they still have to go through a basic set up when notes is launched for the first time using the ini file on the server.

I think this is because the bookmark and names.nsf files are not from there C: drive.

Is this correct?
can anyone help me out here please?

I have seen this done nicely through corporate Intranet.
There are some minor configuration details that need to
be done on a person by person basis but they are not
difficult. I believe that those details are configured in the
individual's "person" document.

I will admit that the last time I did anything like this was
2005. Still, there should be information available in their
KB.

Good luck!

Thanks for the idea,
I will run it by my boss and see what he says, but I would imagine that this needs to be done on a "proper" client type basis and not a web interface.
It is some food for thought though.
