Lotus Domino 8 Administration Basics




SUMMARY:   During this course you will install and configure the Lotus Domino Server and Domino Administrator, and a Notes client to test the installation. When you finish the course, the Server will be ready to serve Domino databases to Notes clients and browsers and to delivery mail within a single Domino Domain.
This course places special emphasis on database services, security, replication, and messaging, the core strengths of Domino.

AUDIENCE:  

This course is designed for network/database administrators who are responsible for supporting Lotus Domino Servers and 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.

DURATION:   3 days.

OBJECTIVES:   In this course, you will learn how to:
  • install, set up, and configure a Domino Server and Domino Administrator
  • register a user with basic settings
  • create a new database using a standard template
  • define groups to manage server and database security
  • understand and configure server and database security
  • configure the Administration Process to automate administrator tasks
  • cross certify other organizations to use your Domino Server
