Installing and setting up iNotes

When you install the IBM® Domino® server, all the infrastructure is put in place for IBM iNotes®. During the server setup process of the Domino server installation process, be sure to choose Web Browsers (HTTP Web services) to enable iNotes features and functionality and register users with the Mail (R85) (MAIL85.NTF) mail template.

If you want to give users the ability to work offline, also choose Domino Off-Line Services (DOLS) during installation although DOLS is not required to run iNotes. You can upgrade a server running the latest maintenance release of a shipped version of Domino. If you upgrade, be sure to manually refresh the design of the Domino Directory.

Domino administrators can use administrative policies to set or to enforce mail and security settings for iNotes users. In addition, any existing policies assigned to iNotes users prior to this release are enforced. To create and assign policy settings to an iNotes user requires both policy settings documents and a policy document.

In a policy settings document, you determine a set of defaults that you want to assign to users. These settings can either lock down certain preferences or enforce administrative settings. A policy document points to the specific settings documents you have created. You use a policy document to assign the policy settings to one or more groups of users.
