DOMINO SERVER INSTALLATION

Using Domino Off-Line Services (DOLS) and Lotus iNotes
To provide IBMŸ LotusŸ iNotes™ users with the ability to work off line, you must enable IBM Lotus Domino Off-Line Services (DOLS) when you set up the server. DOLS enables users to work off line, disconnected from the network, and provides many replication features that IBMŸ LotusŸ NotesŸ users expect when working in the Notes client.

Users require a Notes ID so that DOLS can synchronize the offline mail file with the server. The default DOLS configuration will prompt the user for a Notes ID the first time they go offline with Lotus iNotes.

If you rename a user, the user must reinstall the DOLS offline subscription in order for the offline mail file to synchronize with the server. After a name change, the user must wait for the old Notes ID and password to stop working, accept the name change using a Notes client, then log on to Lotus iNotes with the new Notes ID and password.
