Hello,

Today i would be discussing about installing Lotus notes 8.5.3 using MSI technology. In my earlier posts i shared with you some knowledge about how to profile this application. Today i would be uncovering its MSI aspect.

Lotus notes, an email client can be installed either using a silent install by calling its setup.exe or by installing its msi and then installing a patch over it. Well here i would be discussing its MSI aspect

The command line argument that i made use of for installing lotus notes was as follows
SETMULTIUSER=1 MULTIUSERBASEDIR=!Userprofile!AppdataRoaming MULTIUSERCOMMONDIR=!SystemDrive!Notescommon CITRIX=1 PRELOADNOTES=1
From the variables, it would be clear by now , that i m setting MULTIUSER value to 1, multiuser directory to AppDataRoaming and its commondir to C:Notes Common. The property CITRIX=1 will make this application useful for citrix deployment too. property PRELOADNOTES=1 ,preloads a portion of the Notes APIs and subsystem, a portion of the Java JVM, and some NSF databases that are used immediately at the time of the Notes client startup

For more info on the last property refer the following site

The reason, these properties were passed in command line and not as a property in MSI was, when you pass these though property table or setproperty custom action, the application fails to install. Oh yes! another point worth mentioning is , when install notes , do not attempt to install it from a UNC path or network location. If you try to do so, you will be presented with the following error message

This seems to be a known error of lotus notes and they have mentioned it clearly on the following site

now when installing the lotus notes msi, you would also require the MST along with it. You can create with any tool of your choice, be it orca, installshield tuner, wise. As soon as you create mst, you need to make a change to feature table. Open the MSI and MST in orca
Go to Feature table. Look for a feature by the name of Preloader, change its install level to 1. Rest apply all the standards in the MST. If there is a need to install patch that comes along with the lotus notes, I would recommend to go for a silent install of the patch, because if you try installing the patch via an admin command prompt, it would present you with an error saying that the path of fix.ini is incorrect. This happens because the installer thinks that patch installation is being run from systemfolder location, whereas in actual it is not. Hence, its better to go for a silent install using the following command line

setup.exe /s /v'/qn'

there are other options too that can be made use of in the above command line like the following

refer the following link for the same

Hope this would help others in packaging lotus notes. Do let me know incase, anyone has some issues. I would be more than happy to help others, as this application took toll of my most nights

Lotus Domino and Notes 8 Administrator Update to Release 8.5.3

Lotus Notes 8.5 3 Vulnerabilities

Domino 8.5.x increases performance while at the same time reduces its demands on system resources, due to the support for additional 64 bit platforms and the reduction of I/O and CPU overhead for tasks such as the router, transaction logging, schedule, and design. Other new features are related to Notes clients, including some that reduce your administrative workload.

This course isn’t your typical upgrade course in that it doesn’t mechanically list all the improvements nor does it tell you how to upgrade to this latest version. For that type of information—a complete list of all the new features, system requirements, installation steps, and known problems for Notes/Domino 8.5.x—the best places to go are the Release Notes and the “What’s New in IBM Lotus Domino 8.5.3” section in Lotus Domino Administrator Help.

Audience

This course is designed for experienced Notes and Domino 8 administrators who plan to upgrade their environment to Notes/iNotes and Domino 8.5.3.

You will find this course especially rewarding if you have already installed a Domino 8.5.x server and a handful of Notes 8.5.x clients and have brought your questions to class.

If you are new to Notes and Domino, this is not the right course for you, as it assumes significant prior knowledge of Notes and Domino 8. You should, instead, participate in a series of Domino and Notes administration training courses. Follow this series of courses to master all aspects of the Domino 8.5.x server, Domino Administrator 8.5.x, and the administration of Lotus Notes clients.

Objectives

After you complete this course, you will be able to:

Describe the changes to Notes 8.5.3 platforms, installer packages, embedded Eclipse features, and startup sequence.
Create Dynamic policies and use the three new views in Domino Administrator to manage them.
Create Group documents that auto-populate its members with users who have Mail databases on a specified Domino Server.
Overcome network delays and server outages by using Managed Mail Replicas.
Describe file server-based roaming for Notes users and configure it using the new Roaming Settings policy document.
Configure a Notes User ID Vault database to store Notes User ID files and use the vault to restore lost User IDs or forgotten passwords.
Configure Notes Shared Login for Notes users who use Windows so they don’t need to remember their Notes User ID password.
Reduce the footprint of databases, particularly user Mail files that contain duplicate attachments, by implementing Domino Attachment and Object Service.
Run the Domino Configuration Tuner to compare a server’s settings with best practices rules and run the Corrupt Database Collection and Domino Diagnostic Probe tools.
