Install Requirements

The following procedure describes the steps involved in installing the Lotus Notes Client Add-In. The Lotus Notes Client Add-In is installed locally on a Lotus Notes client and is supported for use with the Domino Mailbox Archiver Agent.

Verify that the computer in which you wish to install the software satisfies the minimum requirements specified in System Requirements - Domino Mailbox Archiver Agent.

The Lotus Notes Client Add-In supports Multi Instance installs when the installation is made from the Software Installation Disc or Install from CommCell Console. If the installation is made through Active Directory Group Policy Objects (GPOs) using the MSI package, the Lotus Notes Client Add-In will still be installed to Instance 001.

In order to use the Lotus Notes Client Add-In component, you must install the Domino Mailbox Archiver Agent on the appropriate Domino Servers. See Deployment - Domino Mailbox Archiver Agent for more information.

Review the following Install Requirements before installing the software:
