{<b>]First, my trouble with SEEMLESS MAIL UPGRADE{</b>]
I created a Desktop Settings doc and specified if running version '6.0' then
use 'ExtR6Mail'. And also put a link for corp welcom page database. Then I
created an Explicit policy called /Upgrade. Then added that policy to my test
user.
Neither of the changes work when I logon as the user.
So...
Is the running version correct?? the example shows a build number that is much
more complex.
Have I missed a step in applying the policy??
{<b>]Now, some feedback on silent install.{</b>]
I took some advice from the redbook "Upgrading to Lotus Notes and Domino 6" and
decided to backup some critical files before the install. So, I pointed the
'upgrade by mail' document at a batch file that looks like this.
@echo off
REM ---------------- B A C K U P --------------
md H:\notes_backup
copy c:\notes\*.ini H:\notes_backup
copy c:\notes\data\desktop*.dsk H:\notes_backup
copy c:\notes\data\names.nsf H:\notes_backup
copy c:\notes\data\*.id H:\notes_backup
copy c:\notes\data\user.dic H:\notes_backup
REM ---------------- I N S T A L L ------------
\\bmic5\apps\NOTES\R6_Client\setup.exe /v"/qb+ TRANSFORMS=BMI_ND6_Desktop.mst"
The redbook suggests using the parm /qn for a silent install, but I used /qb so
the user would see progress throughout the installation. The downside is that
/qb also has a cancel button so that the installation could be interupted.
