From a customer today wanting to use existing users (R5) on Domino 7 servers

Now this adds a twist to their deployment since they were waiting for the upgrade to the clients (R5) but have been moving ahead with the servers (yes through the 6.x codestream and now are ready for 7).  Do not ask me why, I am not one to question, only guide, prompt and take into back alleys and beat senseless.

Compatibility with previous versions

Will there be support for Forms5.nsf on a Domino 7 server?  

  • The iNotes5.ntf template will not be included with Domino 7, so you cannot create Forms5  users from the 7.x Domino Administrator client; however, the Forms5.nsf has been updated to work with Domino 7 and is included with Domino 7.
Will there be support for iNotes5 users on a Domino 7 server?
  • Domino 7 is backwards compatible for existing iNotes5 users; however, you cannot create new iNotes5 users using the 7.x Domino Administrator client.  IBM Lotus does  support upgrading existing users; we do not support creating new iNotes5 users on Domino 7.  
So in other words, we already know R5 is out to pasture in 4 more days, so let's move those old ones along and get the new breed installed
