Re: Sametime -- DOMINO400

Just catching up on e-mail and thought I would
through my 2 cents in... 

I run Domino on a 400 and a windows box.  I built a 
second domino on the Windows box (I guess my config
is unsupported) that is independent of my mail server
and dropped Sametime on it. My Domino/Sametime 
server is in the same Domino Domain. We don't use LDAP.
I would like to, but we are a small shop and have never 
taken the time to learn how to set it up. 

Anyway, Sametime works OK.  Most users do not use it.
I use it the most for support via the sametime meetings.
That is truly the god send the application has been for 
me.  As I expose Sametime to the Internet, it is just so frigen
great to be able to call a vendor and have them come in 
and see my screen and help me resolve problems.  For
the IM part, there were only a couple of people (that I am 
aware of) the got pissed when I started blocking AOL IM some
time ago. They now use ST and like it fine. We just don't
have the whole IM culture.

I now will rattle the cage a bit.  Domino on the 400 has been 
problematic at best. I would not recommend putting Domino
on the platform. Sametime, no frigen way.   That said, I am 
not a window$ bigot or even someone who likes NT.  But my
experience says that Win2K server is an awesome platform for
running Domino. Rock solid

As I am now in the process of replacing WinNT 4  with IBM iSeries
running Linux, and plan on moving Domino there.

Re: Sametime






We went the option 2 route and has worked well so far in a small 
environment.

We use the IM part of Sametime extensively, the Meeting part infrequently 
although when we have used the remote screen capture capability it has 
saved us much time/effort in remote troubleshooting.

Gotchas ???   Make sure LDAP is running OK before setting up Sametime.  If 

accessing remotely, numerous firewall ports that need to be opened.

Sametime










We are exploring the use of Sametime and have a few questions. We 
currently
have a Domino server, version 6.5.2 on an I-Series. Which of the three
methods did you use to implement:

? Set up a new Domino server in a new Domino domain (*FIRST), and add
Sametime to that server.
? Add an additional Domino server to an existing Domino domain (*ADD), and
add Sametime to that server.
? Add Sametime to an existing production Domino server.

>From reading the Sametime install guide, option 3 is not a good choice.
Option 2 sounds like what we would explore.  Keeping maintenance to a
minimum is a big factor in our choice.

Any advice for getting Sametime up & running? Any "gotchas" on installing
the product?  Do your users like Samtime or is it not used very often?

Thanks in advance.

Steve Jones
