USER AND SERVER CONFIGURATION


Setting up Notes with a scriptable setup
The scriptable setup option uses a setting in the NOTES.INI file to provide information to the client setup wizard. During installation, the wizard displays only the panels that users need to set up the Notes client. The NOTES.INI setting ConfigFile= points to a text (.TXT) file that contains the parameters that the wizard needs. The wizard reads the text file and completes the setup. The user is able to bypass the wizard screens for which parameters have been provided by the text file.

The settings and parameters that you can use in the text file are listed in this table:
