Re: Which client to use





I actually think I got lucky with the client PC's -- they were already
installed properly with the correct mode to use roaming.  I believe there
is a restriction, requiring them to be installed in "multi-user" mode.
Since I didn't have to fight it, I can't tell you for certain.  I think I
just did a standard install and everything worked -- but we might have
picked something special because of the classroom that I'm not remembering.
Sorry I can't give you the specifics on that.  I did see comments that you
don't want to do this or it won't work for users needing the Designer or
Admin clients, only standard clients.  I didn't test it, so I can't verify
that, either.

Is this a two step process to convert then?
1)  Convert users to roaming.
2)  Convert client PC's to roaming.

Re: Which client to use











I gather you are talking about roaming.  I just configured our classroom
to
use it.  The roaming is based on the MS id -- when Student01 logs into the
PC and starts Notes, then Student01's personal address book and bookmark
file is replicated to the workstation.  If someone who is set up for
roaming logs into the system for the first time, they run through a little
configuration so the workstation can identify them and their roaming
server, etc.  I went ahead and logged in as each of my student profiles on
each of my machines so that none of them would have to do the
configuration
when they next have a class, but I wouldn't have had to do that.  The
configuration was very easy -- logging in 12 times on each of 12 PCs was
the only drag...

It sounds like the roaming might be good for you...

Installing the Notes client for multiple users?  Does this allow the
client to then be tied in to their MS id?  When it logs in then knows to
use certain local address books, desktops, etc?
That might be an option.
Would it matter one whit if, out of the 12 it was broke down into 3
groups, with one group on one PC; or if all 12 should have access to all
three PC's?  I would think that if they needed access to all three PC's,
that would involve some replication, etc.

Re: Which client to use






I think that someone coming from an Outlook environment may do better with

iNotes. I wouldn't recommend the Web Client (have you used it? it's
"clunky" to quote people from my company), but I'm sure it's last on your
list as well. Roaming users would provide a solution to the NAB problem.
You could also look at installing the Notes Client for multiple users and
this could also address the NAB problem if you didn't want to set up
Roaming (which isn't too difficult).

Which client to use






I just went to the archives and reread every email dealing with the recent


iNotes thread.

Our situation.  We have a small group of clients we are doing their
outsourcing for.  One is a Montesorri school.  One of their groups has 12
people using 3 PC's.  Traditionally we used multiple location documents -
probably because that was what we were used to.  They don't like this
method because of the problems with everyone sharing a personal name and
address book.

Our alternatives include:
Multiple location documents (current method)
Roaming users
Web client
iNotes client

Other significant situational facts:
No purchased ap's
Customized ap we are working on is designed to be web based.
Three weeks ago these people used Outlook.
All of their client PC's are loaded with Notes 6.0.3.
Server is running Domino 6.0.3.

What do you recommend?
