5.4.4 Notes R6
Notes R6 is the latest release of the Notes e-mail and groupware services product. Follow
these steps:
1. Log on to the server as administrator and ensure no users are currently accessing the
server.
Note: In the next step, you are directed to store the user data files to a file server.
However, remote data directories (or user data directories on a file server) are not
supported by Lotus. Although the configuration to place the data directories on a file
server actually works in several configurations, Lotus only supports user data
directories stored on the Citrix system unit. Therefore, all other configurations are at
your own risk. Additional reference regarding this procedure: Lotus technote
