DOMINO SERVER INSTALLATION

Using Domino Off-Line Services (DOLS) and Lotus iNotes
To provide IBM® Lotus® 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 IBM® Lotus® Notes® 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.
