01 Sep Månadens Expert-tips – Scriptable setup
Vore det inte smidigt att konfigurera Notes-klienten automatiskt?
Med automatiserad konfiguration är det möjligt!
Genom funktionen “scriptable setup” kan man förkonfigurera Notes-klienten så att användaren slipper mata in uppgifter.
Genom instälning i notes.ini och en textfil med inställningar kan konfigurationen av nyinstallerade klienter underlättas avsevärt.
Parameter i notes.ini
ConfigFile=[textfil med inställningar].txt
Exempel
ConfigFile=C:\Program Files\Lotus\Notes\Data\setup.txt

Exempel på setup.txt:
Username=User Name/Acme
KeyfileName=c:\Program Files\Lotus\Notes\Data\username.id
Domino.Name=servername/Acme
Domino.Address=servername.acme.com
Domino.Port=TCPIP
Domino.Server=1
AdditionalServices=0
AdditionalServices.NetworkDial=0
Replication.Threshold=9999
Replication.Schedule=0
Från och med version 8.5
Skriptet kan innehålla systemvariabler, likt de nedan.
DOMINOUSERNAME=user name/O
DOMINOSERVERNAME=server/O
KEYFILELOCATION=c:\user name\IDs\uname.id
Från oc h med version 8.5.1
Parametern CONFIGFILE= kan också innehålla systemvariabler/miljövariabler (system environment variables) likt nedan.
CONFIGFILE=%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Lotus\Notes\Data\config.txt
Vilket motsvarar
CONFIGFILE=C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Lotus\Notes\Data\config.txt
CONFIGFILE=%HOMEDRIVE%\%HOMEPATH%\Desktop\config.txt
Vilket motsvarar
CONFIGFILE=C:\Documents and Settings\username\Desktop\config.txt
OBS: CONFIGFILE parametern är den enda notes.ini-parametern som kan hantera fler än en systemvariabel.
Detta måste sättas innan initial start av Notes efter installation.
Config.txt
Username=%DOMINOUSERNAME%
Domino.Server=1
Domino.Name=%DOMINOSERVERNAME%
Domino.Port=TCPIP
KeyFileName=%KEYFILELOCATION%
AdditionalServices=0
Replication.Threshold=1
Replication.Schedule=1
… dettaa resulterar i att Notes användaren bara ser lösenords-prompten innan notes startas för första gången!
Syntax
Windows – “%ENVVAR%”
