There are two ways to create user profiles:

• The simplest method of creating user profiles is to log on to the Windows workstation as the intended Lotus Domino Access user. In this way, using the steps below, you can create the data directory in the user's private folder (for example, C:\Documents and Settings\<user>).
• An alternative method is to use the Windows RunAs functionality where a Windows administrator can assume the identity of each user to create a Lotus Domino Access profile.

Silent install

Use the silent installation to install Lotus Domino Access and create a profile without end user involvement. This process uses the inherent InstallShield capabilities that call a setup file containing the user's connection information to the Domino server.

For example, to set up Lotus Domino Access for multiple users on one workstation, you can run Silent Install and assume the users' logon rights with the RunAs capability for each user.

There is one setup file for each user. The setup file is a text file that contains the following connection information:

-u <User Name> -s <Server IP address> -f <Full path to ID file> -p <id file Password>

-u John Smith -s 1.11.11.111 -f c:\lotus\notes\data\john.id -p 123456

setup.exe /s /v"/qn SETUPFILE=<complete path to setup file>"

setup.exe /s /v"/qn SETUPFILE=C:\user\info.txt"

Using RunAs on Windows XP

Option 1 - Using the installation wizard
1. As the Windows administrator, run setup choosing the desired options, including either the Single User or the Multi-User install options.

2. Choose to not create a profile.

3. Click and then right click on "Create New MAPI Profile." Start - Programs - IBM Lotus Domino Access for Microsoft Outlook,

4. Choose Run As...

5. In the Run As dialog, select "The following user."

6. Enter the user's domain, user name, and password.

7. Enter the connection information as described in Create a User Profile for Lotus Domino Access section in the End user installation topic.

Option 2 - Using the silent install
1. Open a DOS window (cmd.exe) by clicking Start - Programs - Accessories, and then right-click "Command Prompt."

2. Choose Run As...

3. In the Run As dialog, select "The following user."

4. Enter the user's domain, user name, and password.

5. At the DOS prompt, enter the setup syntax as described in the "Silent install" section above.

Using RunAs on Windows 2000

Option 1 - Using the installation wizard
1. As the Windows administrator, run setup choosing the desired options, including either the Single User or the Multi-User install options.

2. Choose to not create a profile.

3. Open a command prompt (Start - Programs - Accessories - Command Prompt).

4. Change to the program directory for Lotus Domino Access.

5. Run the executable file, dfosetup.exe, as the intended Lotus Domino Access user using the following syntax:

C:\> RunAs /USER:"WinDomain\<DAMO User>" dfosetup.exe

Option 2 - Using the silent install
1. Open a DOS window (cmd.exe) by clicking Start - Programs - Accessories - Command Prompt.

2. Use the RunAs command to open another DOS window so that anything run in that window will be run with rights of the user who opened that DOS window.

C:\> RunAs /USER:"WinDomain\<DAMO User>" cmd.exe

setup.exe /s /v"/qn SETUPFILE=<complete path to setup file>"

C:\> RunAs /USER:"WinDomain\<DAMO User>" <path to DAMO setup.exe> /s /v\" /qn SETUPFILE=<path to setup file>\""

for example:

C:\> RunAs /USER:"ADomain\John Smith"   "C:\Temp\setup.exe> /s /v\" /qn SETUPFILE=C:\User\info.txt\""

Note Because of the possible need for nested quotes, you may need to use an escape character (\) if spaces are involved.
