The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Lotus Notes Upgrade from Versions 6 & 7 to 8.0.2

Asked by paydfody in Lotus Notes, Windows Batch Scripting, Lotus Domino Email Server

Tags: Windows Scripting, Batch Scripting, IBM Lotus Notes

I need to upgrade 200+ workstations, from Lotus Notes 6 & 7, to 8.0.2. Currently, all of our Lotus Notes clients have their '\notes\data' folder (which contains the mailbox ID file, email data files, etc.) stored on each users' own home network drive (G:\). Of course, the program files are stored locally, on 'C:\'.

I need to deploy the new Lotus Notes 8.0.2 client to each user workstation. I can do this just fine. However my department will have to manually go into each workstation, and modifiy the notes.ini file, in the local 'notes' folder, to point to 'g:\notes\data'.

I need a way to deploy this upgrade, and have it work for the user, unattended. I'm not much on scripting, but I figure there must be a way to autonomously modify that 'notes.ini' file, to point to 'g:\notes\data', after the installation has been completed.

I have included the contents of a notes.ini file, under 'code' (checkout line 9). Thanks, in advance, for your help. Please let me know if I need to provide additional information.
