Creating a server setup profile

A server setup profile is a file that you use to quickly configure servers. To create a server setup profile, you run the server setup program in record mode, either at the server you are setting up or from a Microsoft™ Windows™ client.

About this task

Before entering system commands in the following procedures, validate the location of the Domino® program directory and Notes® program directory on your system, and be sure to navigate to the required starting directory as instructed.

To create a setup profile at a server

About this task

Creating a server setup profile from a Windows client is easier if the client has the Domino Administrator installed. To create a profile from a client without the Domino Administrator, you need the Java™ runtime environment and some files from the program directory of an installed Domino server.

Procedure

Install the Domino server program files on the server system, but do not run the Domino server setup program.
At the command prompt on the server, from the Domino program directory, do one of the following:
- On a Windows server, enter
```
nserver -record
```
- On a UNIX™ server, enter
```
server -record
```
  Note: Entering nserver -help or server -help displays the parameters available for working with server setup profiles.
Enter a name and description for the profile.
Continue through the setup program.

Domino saves your selections in a file with the name you specified in Step 3. By default this file is created in the Domino program directory.

To create a setup profile from a Windows client with Domino Administrator

Procedure

Make sure that you selected Remote server setup when you installed Domino Administrator on the client system.
Install the Domino server program files on the server system, but do not run the Domino server setup program.
At the command prompt on the client system, from the Notes program directory, enter
```
serversetup -record
```
Enter a name and description for the profile.
Continue through the setup program.

Domino saves your selections in a file with the name you specified in Step 4 and stores the file in the Notes program directory on the client system.

To create a setup profile from a Windows client without Domino Administrator or from a UNIX workstation

Procedure

Install the Domino server program files on the server system, but do not run the Domino server setup program.
On the client system, install the Java runtime environment.
Create a temporary directory on the client system. For example, enter the following at the command prompt:
- On a Windows client:
```
mkdir c:\temp
```
- On a UNIX workstation:
```
mkdir /temp
```
Do one of the following:
- From a Windows client, copy the remote setup files CFGDOMSERVER.JAR, JHALL.JAR, and REMOTESETUP.CMD from the server to the directory you created on the client system. These files are in C:\Domino program directory on the server.
- From a UNIX workstation, copy the remote setup files CFGDOMSERVER.JAR, JHALL.JAR, and REMOTESETUP from the server to the directory you created on the workstation. These files are located in the following directories:
  /Domino program directory/lotus/notes/latest/ibmpow/ on an IBM® AIX® server
  
  /Domino program directory/lotus/notes/latest/linux on a Linux™ server
At the command prompt on the client system, from the directory you created, enter:
```
remotesetup -record
```
Enter a name and description for the profile.
Continue through the setup program.

Domino saves your selections in a file with the name you specified in Step 6 and stores the file in the client-system directory that you created in Step 3.
