  The HCL Domino 11.0.1 documentation is currently available in the following languages.
- What's new in Domino® 11?
  Learn about all of the new features for administrators in HCL Domino® 11.
- Overview
  Welcome to HCL Domino® Administrator Help.
- Domino trial
  A trial version of HCL Domino® 11.0.1 is available free of charge.
- Installing
  Use this documentation to install the HCL Domino® server and subsequently deploy the HCL Notes®client.
  - Installing and upgrading Domino® servers
    Perform a new or upgrade install of one or many Domino® servers.
  - Installing and upgrading Notes® clients
    - Notes® Auto Update
      You don't have to rely on third-party products to automate deployment of new versions and updates of HCL Notes® or HCL Client Application Access (HCAA). Instead, you can enable Auto Update (AUT) servers to deploy updates automatically.
    - Customizing Notes® installation
      As an administrator, you can customize the Notes® install and upgrade process for your users to install just the features that they need. For example, you can customize the install kit using MSI tuner capabilities and you can also customize the install kit to add or remove Eclipse-based features.
    - Specifying custom data directories for multi-user install or upgrade
      You can configure Notes® custom data directories during Notes multi-user install or upgrade on Windows™ or Citrix XenApp.
    - Understanding the Notes® single user to multi-user migration assistant tool
      The single-user to multi-user migration tool converts a Notes® single-user installation to a multi-user installation.
    - Using the Notes® Install Cleanup Utility (NICE) tool
      You can use the supplied Notes® Install Cleanup Executable (NICE) tool to clean up a failed install, failed uninstall, or failed upgrade. You can also use the tool to uninstall an existing version of Notes, and clean up extraneous files, before performing an upgrade installation. The tool is available for Notes on supported Windows™ platforms only, and must be run by an administrator.
    - Automating a customized or default Notes® deployment using silent install
      You can use a silent install to deploy a default or customized Notes® release to users without user intervention. This enables centralized Notes install or upgrade deployment to many users without requiring user intervention.
    - Installing and upgrading Notes® in a single user environment
      You can install Notes® on Microsoft™ Windows™ or Citrix platforms in a single user environment using either the Notes-only or the Notes Allclient installer.
    - Installing and upgrading Notes® multi-user
      Installing Notes® in a multi-user user environment enables multiple users to sequentially log in to the same machine and use the same Notes install directory with their own Notes data directory.
    - Installing a non-English version of Notes®
      Notes® is available for install and upgrade in multiple languages.
    - Adding or removing installed Notes® features within a release
      Optionally add new features, or remove installed features, by rerunning the Notes® installation executable within the same release.
    - Managing client plug-in deployment
      While you can customize your client installer to add new or remove supplied features and plug-ins when you install or upgrade your clients, you can also provision (install and automatically update) stand-alone or third party features and plug-ins to your existing Notes® or Lotus® Expeditor run-time using a combination of Domino® policy or Eclipse preferences, a widget resident in a widgets catalog on an HTTP or Domino server, and a Eclipse update site (with signed features and plugin .jar files) optionally resident in a centrally managed NSF-based update site.
    - Uninstalling Notes®
      While it is not necessary to uninstall Notes® to upgrade to a new release, you should uninstall a Beta release before upgrading.
      - Uninstalling Notes® from a Windows™ client
        Use the following procedure to uninstall Notes® from the Microsoft™ Windows™ client.
      - Uninstalling Notes® from a Mac OS X client
        You can uninstall Notes® by dragging HCL Notes.app from /Applications to the trash. You can also uninstall Notes using the uninstaller application supplied with the Notes install media. Both methods preserve user data.
      - Uninstalling Notes® from a Citrix client
        Use the following procedure to uninstall Notes® from the Citrix client.
      - Uninstalling Notes® silently

Uninstalling Notes® silently

You can uninstall Notes® silently. The uninstall leaves each user's data directory and workspace intact to preserve data.

About this task

If you are uninstalling a multi-user install, log in as an administrator or root user.

Windows™

About this task

You can uninstall Notes® silently from a Windows™ client as follows.

Procedure

Ensure that Notes® is not running.
Open a command prompt window.
Change to the directory in which the installation package uninstaller resides or specify the full path to the MSI file.
Run the uninstall command. Sample syntax (for Notes 11.0.1) is as follows:
Note: The MSI file name changes for each subsequent Notes® release.
```
msiexec /x HCL Notes 11.0.1.msi /qn
```
Important: The silent uninstall works only if the installation files were unpacked and not removed after the setup was completed. If the installation files are retained, they include the MSI file being called by the MSI executable program from the command line to do the silent uninstall.

Linux™

About this task

You can uninstall Notes® silently from a Linux™ client as follows.

Procedure

Ensure that Notes® is not running.
