USER AND SERVER CONFIGURATION
Installation options available using the transform file
Using a transform file, you can customize installation for the users in your enterprise.

Customizing the location of the Install directories

Use this procedure to specify a location other than the default location in which to store the installation directories. When specifying directory names, use names that contain eight or fewer characters.

1. From Application Configuration, select Setup Properties.

2. Click Add/Remove Program Settings.

3. Change the PROGDIR property to the location in which you are storing the program files.

4. Change the DATADIR property to the location in which you are storing the data files. This is the new default data directory.

Setting the installation to Multi-User by default

In a multi-user installation, the administrator installs the Domino Program files to a central location on the local system. Each user has their own data directory located in the system's application data directory for the current user.

Note End-users must have Administrator rights to choose a multi-user installation and must only install the Notes Client. End-users must also have Administrator rights to upgrade an existing multi-user installation.

1. From Application Configuration, select Setup Properties.

2. Change the value in the ApplicationUsers property to AllUsers. By default the installation is now a multi-user installation.

For more information on multi-user installation, see Multi-user installations.

Adding custom files to a client installation

To add custom files to a client installation, create a transform file.

Note This customization option replaces the COPYFILE.TXT feature that was available in previous releases of Lotus Domino.

1. Copy the custom files to the install directory or place them in a directory within the install directory -- for example, PathToInstallKit\AllClient\CopyFiles\custom.mdm.

2. Click Target System Configuration - Files.

3. In the top pane, click Browse and locate the source directory, which is the directory from which you are copying the custom files.

4. In the bottom pane, select the destination directory, for example, ProgramFiles\Lotus\notes\Data\modems.

5. Drag and drop the custom file from the source directory to the destination directory.
