Domino Configuration Tuner Works Fine with Any Notes 8 Client

Category Administration IBM/Lotus Domino ND8



You don't need the Notes 8.5 Administration client to be able to use the Domino Configuration Tuner (DCT). There has been a lot of positive review comments by Domino professionals over DCT. But, you don't have to install 8.5 on your desktop to take advantage of it, it's just an application file.



The simplest way to add the DCT to any Lotus Notes 8 client, is to start by installing the Full Windows client on a USB drive. Now, you could actually choose to run the admin client on the USB flash drive, but it will crawl. So, find the DCT.NSF (and, if you like, the DCT.NTF)files and copy them over to your Notes data drive.



Now you'll be able to run very thorough scans of your infrastructure without a full install of Notes 8.5 on your workstation.

DCT really, really rocks!

This is very cool. I didn't know this. Thank you for sharing!
