USER AND SERVER CONFIGURATION
Note Only those users who have a hierarchical ID (for example, CN=Jane Doe/OU=East/O=Acme) can be upgraded to roaming users. To upgrade a flat user ID, recertify that user ID to a hierarchical format, and then upgrade the user.
The roaming user feature requires the use of Dynamic Client Configuration (DCC). If you have used the NOTES.INI setting, DisableDynConfigClient=1 to disable DCC, remove that NOTES.INI entry or comment out the entry in the NOTES.INI file and then restart the client. If DCC is disabled, the end-user is never prompted as to whether they want to upgrade to roaming status; therefore, the administration process does not generate the administration requests that are required to perform the upgrade to roaming status. This applies only to upgrades to roaming status; it does not apply to new roaming user setups.
To change a non-roaming user to roaming
1. To change a non-roaming user to a Domino server-based roaming user, you must have the following rights or privileges:
3. Select one or more non-roaming user name(s).
4. From the Tools pane, click People - Roaming.
Note If you do not choose this option, the Administration client is busy until the Administration Process completes the upgrade.
The procedure changes the user's status in their Person document from non-roaming to roaming. To verify that the change has been made:
1. From the Domino Administrator, click the People & Groups tab.
2. Select the user you promoted to roaming.
3. Click "Edit Person" to open the user's Person document.
4. Click the Roaming tab. The "User Can Roam" field should display "In Progress" or "Yes." The "In Progress" status displays until replication has occurred and all replicas of the user's files are updated.
