Admin2006 Day 2 review
Tags :Admin2006 Domino 7 DUCS DDM
After completing numerous sessions and a LotusUserGroup.org podcast so far, one fact has come to light. While some companies have begun a limited number of server installs of Domino 7, most are still some flavor of Domino 6. A few R5 show their head from session to session, but those are making plans to go straight to 7 in their mind.
So, let us make a quick assumption. Lotus stated Domino 7 was the most downloaded version in the fastest time. I agree there. But, as usual, companies are stalling on some of their plans and that shows the more conferences I do and people I meet. Some are unfounded fears, many are testing and more testing. I stated it before and I will state it again, stop with the delays and get it done. The upgrade path is too simple and the benefits too great.
Ok, I feel better. Back to reality. Sessions completed are:
- SMTP hands-on configuration (2 times)
- LDAP Infrastructure
- Domino Unified Communication (DUCS)
- Domino Domain Monitoring - Jumpstart
- Domino Domain Monitoring - normal session
Besides unique variables that every system seems to have, it is the customizations that have been implemented or network configurations that bite them each time. I preach simplistic and constant scrutinization of not only what you have in place, but what you are implementing in the future. The network security guys don't always know best. The management don't always know best. Heck, even us admins don't always know best. So constant checking and rechecking is the way to go.
