Overview of the Sametime 7.5.1 CF1 upgrade (updated already)


Tags :


First let's cover the files.  There is a CF1 for the Sametime Gateway out there, just not Windows yet.  Amazingly the Sametime 7.5.1 server only gets a mere 69MB of update download while the Sametime Connect client gets a whopping 204MB file download

The Readme for the CF1 update can be found right here.

Server

So I compressed the installer and let it fire off for the server.  It says the total update size is 79.9MB and goes on quite willingly.

Client

So you have choices to either run the installer in it's entirety on the local machine or push out updates via the update site.

CAUTION(S):
Not all updates are applied when using the update site method.  Read the release notes carefully to know if your issue is covered band by which method.  Also, you may not want the automatic update if you have not aplied at least CF1 to 7.5.  There is an admin update that must be done as shown below in the image.

There is quite a few packages as shown in this image:

Also, the Single Sign-on with the operating system is now available, as well as additional dictionaries.  Those are added plug-ins that need to be deployed. Each comes with it's own site.xml that you can merge centrally or push into siteupdate.nsf from a Domino 8 server.  Then you get the user policies in place.

Let me run the update and full installer and let you know those results next
