Lotus Domino Administrator 8 Help - Create a Roaming User

journal.nsf
bookmark.nsf
names.nsf

Create a Roaming User's Roaming Files

Clicking the Advanced check box on the Basics panel of the registration user interface, and then selecting the Roaming User check box on the same panel. (The Roaming User check box is not displayed until you select the Advanced check box on the Basics panel of the registration user interface.)
