SUMMARY:   During this course you will use Domino Administrator as you learn to perform Notes-specific administration tasks such as registering users and controlling Notes configuration using policies. AUDIENCE:   This course is designed for administrators responsible for managing Notes clients. Whereas the Lotus Domino 8 Administration Basics course covers general Domino Server installation and configuration, this course focuses on the administration of Notes clients. You will find this course most useful if prior to this course you have: studied the principles and operation of personal computer networking using TCP/IP in LAN/WAN/Internet environments installed and supported the operating system used in this course (Windows XP Professional), as well as applications used by those systems installed, administered, and supported network operating system server and workstation software. You will find the course especially rewarding if you have already installed a Domino Server and a handful of Notes clients and have had some experience designing Domino databases. PREREQUISITES:   While ideally you will have completed the Domino 8 Administration Basics course before taking this course, doing so is not required. The first Topic in this course reviews the necessary concepts of Notes administration and how to use Domino Administrator. DURATION:   5 days. OBJECTIVES:   In this course, you will learn how to: describe the primary administration concepts of Notes and Domino, including Domino Domain, Organization, Organizational Units, Domino Named Networks, Domino Directory, Registration Server, Home/ Mail Server, Administration Process, and Administration Server set up Domino Administrator, configure Administration Preferences, and use Domino Administrator to manage Notes users perform a basic Notes user registration to understand the outcomes of the process create an Organizational Unit Certifier hierarchy configure a Certifier ID to include contact information, ID/Password Recovery Information, multiple passwords, and support for alternate languages and names implement the Certificate Authority process, migrate Certifier IDs to the Certificate Authority, and give administrators CAA and/or RA rights define explicit and organizational policies with Registration, Setup, Desktop, Archiving, Security, and Mail Settings register Notes users using all the options, including ID/Password Recovery Information, the CA Process, and Registration Settings define Security Settings to set ECLs, encrypt local replicas, and set Mail security options, and enforce client security settings use the Administration Process to automate user identity changes and to recertify expired certificates lock out unauthorized users from servers and databases enforce passwords and password changes and institute a custom password policy recover a lost User ID or forgotten password deploy local replica databases, a Mobile Directory Catalog, custom Welcome Pages, Bookmarks, and custom tips of the day define a policy to control user Mail preferences define policy hierarchies that inherit or enforce settings track active Notes and other client users to ensure license compliance update Notes software using Upgrade By Mail and Notes Smart Upgrade update Eclipse plug-ins and Composite Application components, and create a Domino-based Eclipse Update Site.

Certifier Create OU Certifier from Organization Certifier Create OU Certifier from OU Certifier Guided Exercise: Create Organizational Unit Certifier Guided Exercise: Register user under Organizational Unit Certifier ID file security Configure Certifier IDs Task 1: Rollover O/OU Certifier ID keys to highest strength possible Task 2: Add Contact information to the Certifier document Task 3: Add ID/password recovery information to the Certifier ID Exercise: Add recovery information Task 4: Add multiple passwords to the Certifier ID Task 5: Add support for alternate languages to a Certifier ID Certificate Authority Process Certificate IDs versus CA Process Advantages of using the CA Process Prerequisites to configure the CA Process CA Process configuration Step 1: Migrate the Organization Certifier ID to the CA Process Step 2: Unlock or activate the Certifier Step 3: Migrate any OU Certifier IDs to CA Process Step 4: Add or delete CAAs or RAs Step 5: Register users with CA Process Exercise: Migrate OU Certifier to CA Process Prepare Policies and Settings Policy defined Settings documents Policy type Choosing between Explicit and Organizational policy types Exercise: Create Policy and Settings documents Assign policies to users Assignment Method 1: Set default policy for registrations Assignment Method 2: Assign policy during registration Assignment Method 3: Change Person document What you cannot control with policies Lock down user preferences Troubleshooting Notes policy updates Prepare to Register Users Task 1: Ensure that new users have unique names Task 2: Add user to appropriate group(s) Task 3: Define Registration Settings policy Exercise: Registration Settings Task 4: Set Administration Preferences Exercise: Set Administration Preferences
