Install Notes multi-user

To install Notes on Citrix Presentation Server version 4.5, use the following procedure:

1. Obtain the "Notes Client Only" standard client install kit. This kit allows you to install Notes multi-user.

2. Log directly onto the Citrix server (not remotely) as the Administrator.

3. From the Microsoft® Windows Control Panel, select Add/Remove Programs.

4. Click Add New Programs and select the Notes install kit from step 1.

Note

This step puts the Citrix/Terminal server out of "Application mode" and into "Install Mode."

5. Locate and run the SETUP.EXE installation executable.

6. Read the Welcome screen and click Next.

7. Read and accept the license agreement terms and click Next.

8. Enter your user name and organization, choose the "Multi-user Install" setting, and click Next.

9. Accept the default install directory or specify a different directory installation directory and click Next.

For a new install, the default directory is C:\Program Files\IBM\Lotus\Notes.

10. Read the preview screen, accept Notes as the default email, calendar, and contacts programs, and click Install.

Delete and modify various NOTES.INI settings

The Notes installation program creates a NOTES.INI file in the following two locations.

%SYSTEMROOT%
Documents and Settings\AllUsers\Applications\Lotus\Notes\Data

Note Notes multi-user only uses the NOTES.INI file in Documents and Settings.

1. Delete the NOTES.INI file in the %SYSTEMROOT% directory.

2. Open the NOTES.INI file in Documents and Settings\AllUsers\Application Data\Lotus\Notes\Data and add the following parameters:

[Notes]

KitType=1

SharedDataDirectory=C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Lotus\Notes\Data\Shared

InstallMode=1

InstallType=6

Note InstallMode is the NOTES.INI parameter that represents the Notes standard configuration.

3. Save and close the file.

Modify registry key settings

Because Notes is not Terminal Services-aware, the installer does not properly update the registry keys to reflect the multi-user installation.

Note The information below is presented as a guideline for making relevant changes within the Microsoft Windows Registry. The Windows Registry is central to the operation of Windows, so any changes should be performed with great care. Back up your system before attempting the following procedure, in order to allow recovery from system file corruption or other failures.

1. Click Start Menu - Run, and in the "Open" field type "regedit" (without the quotation marks).

2. Go to the [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Lotus\Notes] registry key.

3. Double-click the MultiUser DWORD.
