Note The roaming user fields do not appear if you did not click "Enable roaming for this person" and "Create a Notes ID for this person" on the Basic tab. Domino uses default values, if available, for fields you do not modify.

• Put roaming user files on mail server - Click to store the user's roaming information on the same server used for mail. If you select this option, the roaming server defaults to the user's mail server.
• Roaming Server - Click to open the "Choose Roaming User Files Server" dialog box, where you specify the server that stores the user's roaming information.
Complete these fields:

Field	Description
Personal roaming folder	This is the subdirectory that contains the user's roaming information. By default, this directory is named Roaming.
Sub-folder format	The method used to name roaming subdirectories on the roaming server. This determines the default Personal roaming folder for each user.
Create roaming files in background	Choose when you want roaming files to be created. The "Create roaming files in background" option forces the Administration Process to create the files the next time it runs, and saves time during the user registration process.
Roaming Replicas	Click this button to open the "Roaming Files Replica Creations Options" dialog box, where you can designate one or more servers on which to create additional replicas of a user's roaming databases. This option only applies to clustered servers. Note For Domino roaming, roaming replica server(s) can be specified on this form. Roaming replicas are not supported for File server roaming.
Clean-up option	The clean-up option deletes all of the databases in the user's directory. Clean-up will only occur on computers that contain a Notes multi-user install. Clean-up is typically used in a kiosk-style deployment and it is assumed that users who need to retain their data after clean-up have a single user version of the client installed on their primary machine. Choose one of these clean-up options. Clean-up will only occur on computers that contain a Notes multi-user install. Do not clean-up (default). Roaming user data will never be deleted from the IBM® Lotus® Notes® client workstation to which the user roamed. Clean-up periodically. Enables the "Clean up every N days" field on which you specify the number of days that should pass before roaming user data is deleted from the Notes client workstation. Clean-up at Notes shutdown. Roaming user data will be deleted from the Notes client workstation immediately upon Notes shutdown. Prompt user - The user is prompted on exiting the client as to whether they want to clean up their personal files. If the user chooses Yes, the data directory on that client workstation is deleted. If the user chooses No, the user is prompted as to whether they want to be asked again on that client. If the user chooses No, the user is not prompted again. If the user chooses Yes, the user is prompted again the next time the user exits the client on that workstation.
