When you use the Domino Administrator to register new users, you can set them up during registration for roaming in a cluster. You can also upgrade existing users for roaming in a cluster.

When you use the Web Administrator to register new users, you can set them up for roaming but not for roaming in a cluster. To set them up for roaming in a cluster, register them as roaming users, and then manually create replicas of the roaming files on as many cluster servers as you want.

You cannot use the Web Administrator to upgrade existing users for roaming.

Setting up new users for roaming in a cluster

1. From the Domino Administrator, click the People & Groups tab.

2. In the Tools pane, expand People, and then click Register.

3. In the "Choose a Certifier" dialog box, choose a certifier and click OK.

4. In the "Register Person -- New Entry" dialog box, select "Enable roaming for this person" and select "Create a Notes ID for this person."

5. Select Advanced, and then click the Roaming tab.

6. Select the Roaming Server button to make it active, and then click the Roaming Server button.

7. Select a cluster server as the Roaming Server, and then click OK.

8. Click the Roaming Replicas button.

9. Select "Create roaming file replica(s)." A list is displayed of the servers in the same cluster as the Roaming Server.

10. Do one of the following:

• To create replicas of the roaming files on all of the cluster servers, skip this step.
• To change the list of servers to receive replicas, use the Remove Server(s) button and the Add Server(s) button.

12. Click OK, and then complete any other fields you want on the Roaming tab.

13. (Optional) To create a replica for this user, follow the procedure for creating mail replicas in a cluster during user registration.

14. Complete the rest of the user registration the way you normally would.
