Configure the Time Zone (TZ) Variable

Applies to - New installation; upgrade from version 2.2.8A.0 and 3.0.1.0 when the server time-zone is set to anything other than GMT0 (All server roles).
Message time stamps (MTSIDs) are based on the operating system time and the time zone setting specified in the Time Zone (TZ) environment variable.  The value for TZ must be changed to reflect this servers location if it is set to anything other than GMT0.  Failure to match the correct TZ value to the Windows server time-zone setting may result in non-deliveries due to timer expiration.  
To set the TZ variable so that it matches the local time zone for the Domino Server, do the following:
Select Start`Settings`Control Panel, double-click System.
If using Windows NT 4.0 select the Environment tab.
If using Windows 2000 select the Advanced tab and click Environment Variables.
Select the TZ variable name from the System Variables list.  For Windows 2000 click Edit.
Replace the value for the TZ variable in the Value field (Variable Value for Windows 2000).  Refer to Table Error! No text of specified style in document.-1 Sample Time Zone Settings for examples of TZ values.  If a value for this servers location is not located in the table, refer to the Lotus Admin guide for an expanded listing of Time Zones.
If using Windows NT 4.0, click Set to save the setting.
If using Windows 2000, click OK to save the settings.
Click OK to close the Environment Variables window and OK again to dismiss the System window.
Table Error! No text of specified style in document.-1 Sample Time Zone Settings

1.      From the Domino Administrator, select File`Database`Open.
2.      Select the Domino server where the database is located from the Server pull-down list.
3.      Select Notes Log (log.nsf) from the list of files in the Database display and click Open.
4.      If necessary, click Esc to close the About screen.
5.      Click File`Database`Access Control.
6.      Verify that the Access field for the -Default- entry is set to No Access.  If it is not, select the pull-down list for the Access field, select No Access and click OK.

Modify the Default Execution Control List

Applies to -  New installation.
Lotus Notes features the ability to control which actions are allowed on a workstation.  DMS templates and functions are signed with the name Developer/DMS.  Perform this procedure to set or verify the default allowable actions for new clients:
1.      From the Domino Administrator, select the Domain icon from the Bookmark bar.

11.      Click OK to close the workstation security window.

Modify Admin Access to Server Document

Applies to -  New installation.
1.      From the Domino Administrator, select the Domain icon from the Bookmark bar.
2.      Expand the All Servers view.
3.      Select the server you wish to modify from the list of server names.
4.      Select Administration`Configuration.

11.      Add the <DominoAdmin> user and the LocalDomainServers group to the name list.
12.      Click OK.
13.      Click Save and Close when complete.  
Configure Compaction

Applies to -  New installation.
Database compaction is an important administrative task.  Compaction may be performed several ways.  We recommend the following compaction strategy:
Run In place compaction with space recovery every night.  This does a quick compaction of databases but does not recover any unused disk space.
Run In place compaction with space recovery and reduction in file size once a week. This reclaims unused disk space.
Note that the day and time to run compaction is only a suggestion.  Select a day and time that makes the most sense for this site:
1.      From the Domino Administrator, select the Domain icon from the Bookmark bar.
2.      Expand the All Servers view.
3.      Select the server you wish to modify from the list of server names.
4.      Select Administration`Files.
5.      Open the Domino Public Directory (names.nsf) database.
6.      Select Server`Programs from the left pane.
7.      If there is already an entry with Compact as the Program name and -L for the command line, delete the entry by clicking Delete Program, pressing F9 and clicking Yes.
8.      Select Add Program.  The Program Basics screen appears.  
9.      Enter Compact for the Program name.
10.      Enter -b for the Command Line.  The parameter is case sensitive.
11.      For Server to run on use the pull down arrow to select the proper Server name.
12.      Select the Schedule tab.
13.      For Run at Times choose a time to run during a slow time in hh:mm format.  The default is 04:00.
14.      For Days to run set to run on every day but Sunday.
15.      Click Save and Close.
16.      Select Add Program again.  The Program Basics screen appears.  
17.      Enter Compact for the Program name.
18.      Enter  -B -S10 for the Command line.  The parameters are case sensitive. The -S10 parameter specifies to only run the command when 10% or more unused space will be saved.
19.      For Server to run on use the pull down arrow to select the proper Server name.
20.      Select the Schedule tab.
21.      For Run at Times choose a time to run during a slow time in hh:mm format.  The default is 04:00.
22.      For Days to run set to run on Sunday only.
23.      Click Save and Close.  Press Esc to close the database.
Creating Connection Documents

Applies to -  New installation of additional servers in a Domino Domain.  
This procedure is required to be performed when a new Domino Server is installed after the first Domino Server. Connection documents are used to schedule/manage replication between the servers.  
Note -  If a Domino server is reinstalled into a Domino Domain, a Connection document should already exist for it and therefore does not need to created again.
1.      From the Domino Administrator, select the Domain icon from the Bookmark bar.
2.      Expand the All Servers view.
3.      Select the server you wish to modify from the list of server names.
4.      Select Administration`Configuration.
5.      From the server view click Connections.  
6.      Click Add Connection.  
7.      For Connection type select Local Area Network.
8.      Verify that the format for Source Server is <DominoServer>/<DomainName>.   This should be the name of the Primary Groupware Server.
9.      Enter the subordinate GWS server (the new server) name in the Destination server field using the format <DominoServer>/<DomainName>.
10.      Enter the <DomainName> name for the Source domain and Destination domain fields.
11.      Click Choose Ports, select TCPIP and click OK.
12.      Enter the IP Address of the destination server in the 'Optional network address' field.
13.      Select the Replication/Routing tab.
14.      Select  -None- from the Routing task field.  Leave the Replication task enabled.
15.      Verify that the replication type is Pull Push.
16.      For Files/Directories to Replicate, enter names.nsf, dmsnames.nsf and events4.nsf.  Use a comma to separate the names.  
17.      Note -  Administrators should enter the names of any other database or template name that the organization needs to replicate between servers.  Names.nsf, dmsnames.nsf and events4.nsf are the minimum databases required for Domino DMS.  We do not recommend leaving the field blank.  
18.      Click Save and Close.

Allow connections only from the following SMTP Internet hostnames/IP addresses.      The host names and/or IP addresses that are allowed to connect to this server.  Only those servers matching these entries can connect to your server over SMTP.   <SMTPHostsAllowed> For example, entering allowed.com; [206.*.*.*] would accept connections from allowed.com.com and any host with an IP address beginning with 206.       
Deny connections from the following SMTP Internet hostnames/IP addresses.      The host names and/or IP addresses that are not allowed to connect to this server.  All servers except those listed here can connect to your server.   <SMTPHostsDenied> For example, entering denied.com; [206.*.*.*] would deny connections from denied.com and any host with an IP address beginning with 206.
