NOTES ROAMING USER

Getting started as a Notes roaming user
Your IBM® Domino® administrator assigns your roaming user capabilities. The data that your administrator configures to be roaming-enabled replicates or syncs between your roaming server and the Notes® computer that you log into. The roaming server keeps roaming-enabled files and application synchronized for any Notes client on which you log into and work as a roaming user.

About this task

As a roaming user, you can do the following things:


Once you accept the prompt to convert to roaming user, your personal Notes applications and configuration are kept in sync, by replication or sync through the roaming user server, between all the computers on which you work as a Notes roaming user, including the following:
Your user.dic and user.id files can also be roamed, as well as can certain Notes and Eclipse preferences and settings.

As a roaming user, when you start Notes, the latest version of your roaming-enabled files are replicated or synced to the computer that you are working on. As you work in Notes, any changes you make in these files are replicated or synced back to your roaming server. This allows you to have a consistent experience on any Notes client computer that you log in to. Replication and sync occur on a scheduled basis or you can initiate them yourself.

Note: Depending on how your administrator has configured roaming for you, your roaming server can be either a file server or a Domino server. The Domino roaming server can be, but is not always, your home or mail server.

Your administrator configures you for roaming using administrator settings as described in the Domino Administrator product documentation.
