DOMINO SERVER INSTALLATION

Using a server setup profile
You can use a server setup profile at the server you are setting up or from a client system.

Using a server setup profile from a Microsoft® Windows® client is easier if the client has the IBM® Lotus® Domino® Administrator installed -- to use a profile from a Windows or UNIX® client without Domino Administrator, you need the Java™ runtime environment plus some files from the program directory of an installed Domino server.

When you use a setup profile, you choose whether or not to view the setup screens as you run the profile. Running a profile without viewing the screens is sometimes referred to as a "silent" setup.

When the following procedures include instructions for entering system commands, make sure you understand the terms "Domino program directory" and "Notes program directory" as they apply to your operating system.

To use a setup profile at the server

1. Install the Domino server program files on a server system, but do not run the Domino server setup program.

2. At the command prompt on the server, from the Domino program directory, do one of the following:


3. Choose the profile to use. If you don't see the profile you want in the list, click Browse to locate the directory that contains the profile.

4. To change the existing profile, select "Modify selected profile." Click OK to start the server setup.

To use a setup profile from a Windows client with Domino Administrator

1. Make sure that you selected "Remote server setup" when you installed Domino Administrator on the client system.

2. Install the Domino server program files on a server system, but do not run the Domino server setup program.

3. At the command prompt on the server system, from the Domino program directory, do one of the following:

5. In the Connect to Remote Domino Server dialog box, click Ping to ensure that you can connect to the server.

6. Enter the host name or network address of the server.

7. Click OK.

8. Choose the profile to use. If you don't see the profile you want in the list, click Browse to locate the directory that contains the profile.

9. To change the existing profile instead of running it to set up a new server, click Modify selected profile.

10. Click OK to start the server setup.
