Lotus Domino Administrator 6.5 Help - Before you upgrade the Notes client

UPGRADING TO LOTUS NOTES 6 AND LOTUS DOMINO 6

Before you upgrade the Notes client
Before you begin upgrading Lotus Notes clients, make sure that you or your users do the following:

If the computer on which you are upgrading runs anti-virus software, close the application.
If you are upgrading Lotus Notes on an Apple computer running OS X, turn off all options in the Application Sharing tab of the Shared System Preferences panel to avoid any errors.
To successfully install, upgrade, and use Lotus Notes 6, users must be allowed both Write and Modify permissions to the Program directory, Data directory, and all associated subdirectories.
If you are upgrading Lotus Notes on a Windows NT, 2000, or XP computer, you must have administrator rights to the system. On a Windows NT 4.0 computer, log in as an administrator or set administrator-level privileges for All Users. This can be done from the command line.
Windows NT, 2000, and XP users should log onto their computers with administrative rights to install Lotus Notes 6. For cases in which administrative rights are not available, enable the setting "Always install with elevated privileges." Refer to the Release Notes for the most current information on permissions required when installing as a non-administrator.
Options for installing the Lotus Notes client on Restricted or Standard/Power User computers are described in the Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Installer documentation.
Review options for customizing the Notes client installing and set up.

For more information about customizing installation and set up, see the topic Setting up Notes client installation for users.
