SNTT: Working with that hard to setup remote server


Tags :


As we fired up a new customer server remotely over in China, it had terrible bandwidth and connection issues.  It could telnet to the Notes port on the US based Domino server, see the server in DNS and IP, but when Notes popped up it had the worst time trying to connect and would time out too fast.

So there is a couple ways to handle this.  As commented before, there is no documentation of what format or data should be included for the setup selection of choosing local media.  We have played around with it to some success, but it should be much cleaner.  So we copied down the names.nsf, admin4.nsf and the notes.ini from a freshly installed and working server.  A quick change of the id file and paths and the server came right up.  You could note the CleanSetup=1 in the notes.ini but I wanted everything built, not just to tell it that the setup.nsf database was placed and removed.

You used to be able to create profiles, pre-configured in the setup.nsf database and place that on numerous servers.  it doesn't like that in the newer code streams.
