Course Title:
Lotus Domino 6 Administrator Update

Duration: 3 days

Course Overview
During this course you will learn how to plan for and upgrade an existing Domino installation to Domino 6. You will learn how to install the software and update the databases in the proper sequence to avoid problems and service disruptions.

Beyond the typical upgrade course "learning about" the new features in Notes and Domino 6 and Domino Administrator 6, in this course you will gain significant knowledge and experience in how to configure and use the new features using Domino Administrator 6.

Target Audience


This course is designed for experienced Notes and Domino R5 administrators who plan to upgrade their environment to Notes and Domino 6.

You will find the course especially rewarding if you have already installed a Domino 6 server and a handful of Notes 6 clients and bring your questions to class.

To learn more about:
upgrading applications to Domino 6 using Domino Designer 6, take the Domino 6 Developer Update course;
upgrading to Notes 6 (users), take the Notes 6 Update course.

If you are new to Notes and Domino 6, this is not the right course to take. You should, instead, participate in a series of Domino administration training courses.

Course Objectives


In this course, you will learn how to:

Upgrade to Notes and Domino 6 software and databases in the proper sequence to avoid problems and service disruptions;
Use the new and updated tools in Domino Administrator 6 such as the new Remote Server Console
create realtime and historical statistic charts;
Take advantage of new directory features such as central and configuration directories to save disk space on Servers, extended directory catalog to consolidate directories, extended ACLs in directories for granular control, and Web authentication and group authorization from secondary directories;
Configure Extended Administration Servers to distribute the Administration Process workload;
Use the Notes System Diagnostic and configure Automatic Fault Recovery;
Run Domino under the Domino Controller and communicate with it using the Domino Console;
Increase your ability to monitor the Server by configuring event generators and handlers, using the new log filters and log analysis tools, logging and analyzing user activity, and using the Tivoli Advanced Monitoring addin;
Use the new Notes installer and Setup software and Notes Smart Upgrade to keep Notes up to date;
Configure policy-based management to control new Notes client registration and setup as well as ongoing configuration of desktop (database and Welcome Page deployment), security (ECLs), and mail archiving settings;
Configure and use multi-user and roaming Notes clients;
Leverage database and network performance features such as LZ1 compression, document locking, network compression, streaming replication, and single copy template;
Define new Server security lists including the new administrative access fields including Full Access Administrator;
Control agents run by Agent Manager using new properties and Server security lists; debug agents using the remote debugger;
Configure Notes 6 security using the new User Security dialog box;
Use the Certificate Authority Process to register Notes and create digital certificates for browser users;
Automatically synchronize Notes and Internet passwords and to manage HTTP passwords;
Determine effective user access to databases;
Configure new Router controls such as Configuration Mail Rules and anti-spam restrictions and fight denial of service attacks, invalid URLs, and buffer overflows;
Upgrade to the new Shared Mail architecture;
Define new Mail database quota controls;
Configure Message Journaling to record all email;
Configure the new HTTP stack to use third-part Web server plug-ins, set Web user preferences, and support; WebDAV for application resource file development;
Use the new Internet Sites documents to configure Internet protocols and single sign-on across Servers;
Secure and use the new Web Administrator to perform most administrative tasks from a browser.
