The awaited new Lotus Client has arrived. Promisses about faster startup time and lower memory footprint has to be checked out. Checking the bloogs in the comunity I got over this article about a new setup parameter for mulituser install. Thanks to Chris Miller for posting links to several technotes for Domino/Lotus Notes 8.0.2.
The parameter is: setup /v"SETMULTIUSER=1/qb"
The parameter for multiuser setup worked fine. But I managed to mess it up when I under the Client setup created a new location document, figuring that I didn't want to use the default 'Online'.
The Client soon warned me about this beeing a muliuser install and that , if I wanted to change notes user, I should log of Windows and log on with a different windows user.
Do not ignore this!! I did and it gave me some trouble. Sure the client works fine the first time after log on. This beeing a muliuser setup I switched windows user and started Lotus Notes.
Again a setup procedure to follow. Stating username, pointing to server and ID file and off I go.
Works perfectly. This is really promissing. There nothing else to do and to log off windows again with my first user.
I start the client and it shows me the blue expeditor frame. And nothing more. Frozen!
Well ofcourse, it must be the ~notes.lck file that causing this. It wasn't. I could not find anywhere.
After some trial and error, I figured it must be someting with my location document.
Removing the location document I created and setting the default 'Online' location document fixed the problem. Now I'm happy.
Multiuser setup works like charm, just mind Your location document setup.
BTW: This setup was done on a windows xp system with no previous Lotus Notes installation wtih the All Clients setup files. Multiuser setup with All Clients... sweet!!
