Still have DCC on the brain?
Tags :Technical
So we have taken two looks at Dynamic Client
Configuration (DCC) and what it does and how it does it. Here is
a tidbit of what it can't do.
You are using the
Instant Messaging (IM) feature in the Lotus Notes 6.5x Client. After
changing the "Sametime Server" field in your Person document
in the Domino Directory, the Notes Client fails to automatically update
the "IBM Lotus Instant Messaging Server:" field in your Location
document, despite the Dynamic Client Configuration (DCC) feature being
configured correctly and working otherwise.
Well that really sucks you say, what is
someone supposed to do if DCC didn't get updated to include this when you
upgraded to 6.5x you say?
While the DCC picks
up other changes from the Person document and makes the appropriate changes
in the user's Location document, the "Sametime Server" field
from the Person document is currently not being supported by the DCC.
This issue has been reported to Lotus software Quality Engineering and is currently being investigated.
As a workaround, you can configure a Sametime Server in Desktop Settings and an associated Explicit Policy, and assign it to the user in his/her Person document. When the user accesses the Domino Server, the Location document will be updated according to the Desktop Settings/Policy.
So for those of you slacking on rolling out policies, there you go! A reason to implement at least one piece.
