Lotus Domino Administrator 6 Help - Installing Domino on Windows systems

INSTALLATION

Installing Domino on Windows systems
You can install Domino on a Windows® system by following this procedure, or you can do a silent install of a local server or remote servers. To perform a silent install, use setup.exe -r at the command prompt to record the install configuration to a file, and then use setup.exe -s to install the configuration. For more information on silent install, see the InstallShield documentation.

1. Before you install the Domino server program files on a Windows system, do the following:

Make sure that the required hardware and software components are in place and working.
Read the Release Notes for operating system and network protocol requirements and for any last-minute changes or additions to the documentation.
Temporarily disable any screen savers and turn off any virus-detection software.
Make sure that all other applications are closed. Otherwise, you may corrupt any shared files, and the Install program may not run properly.
If you are upgrading to Domino from a previous release, see the book Upgrade Guide.

2. Run the install program (SETUP.EXE), which is on the installation CD.

3. Read the Welcome screen, and click Next. Then read the License Agreement and click Yes.

4. Enter the administrator's name and the company name.

5. Choose whether you want to install partitioned servers.

6. Choose the program and data directory in which to copy the software, and then click Next. If you are installing partitioned servers, you choose only a program directory.

7. Select the server type you acquired:

Domino Utility Server -- Installs a Domino server that provides application services only, with support for Domino clusters. The Domino Utility Server is a new installation type for Lotus Domino 6 that removes client access license requirements. Note that it does NOT include support for messaging services. See full licensing text for details.
Domino Messaging Server -- Installs a Domino server that provides messaging services. Note that it does NOT include support for application services or Domino clusters.
Domino Enterprise Server -- Installs a Domino server that provides both messaging and application services, with support for Domino clusters.

Note

All three types of installations support Domino partitioned servers. Only the Domino Enterprise Server supports a service provider (xSP) environment.

8. Click Customize to choose which components to install, or click Next to accept all components.

9. If you are installing partitioned servers, specify a data directory for each partition.

10. Specify the program folder or accept Lotus Applications as the program folder that will contain the software.

11. Click Finish to complete the install program.

12. Choose Start - Programs - Lotus Applications - Lotus Domino Server to start the Server Setup program.
