TemplateSetup variable in ini status

HCL Notes/Domino 8.5 Forum (includes Notes Traveler)

Subject:

Debbie - took your advice and reset the
TemplateSetup variable in the ini from TemplateSetup=850005 to TemplateSetup=600000.

When relaunching Notes 8.5 , you can see a small message under the splash screen that database design is being updated. This resulted in the personal address book being sucessfully updated to the 8.5 template . The Notes ini reflects this back to TemplateSetup=850005 .

STILL: is it possible that since a typical upgrade uses images to cut over new PC's that the Notes ini is already created by the time the legact 6..5.6 names.nsf is copied to the newly images laptop ? Then there is no way for the PAB to be upgraded since Notes thinks everything is already updated. That is my bet.

Recommendation: you cannot just image a Notes install for quick rollout without messing with the ini. Should we need to strip out the 3" lines of the ini and rebuild on setup ? Then , at least, Notes will not have any history on the TemplateSetup=850005. That should force the PAB upgrade too ?
