INSTALLING
Before you begin
Before you install and set up the first Domino server, you must plan the server and organizational naming and security. In addition, you must understand your existing network configuration and know how Domino will fit into the network. If you are adding an additional server to an existing Domino infrastructure, you must have already registered the server and its server ID and password must be available.
About this task
You also have the option of installing an evaluation copy of the Domino server instead of the traditional production copy. The evaluation copy can be used for a limited number of days.
Note: Do not unpack installation kit files to the same directory to which you install the installation files. Specify a unique directory path for each set of installation files.
Procedure
1. Choose a name for the server. Refer to the name that you created based on your company's structure.
2. Identify the function of the server; for example mail server or application server.
3. Decide where to locate the server physically and decide who administers it
4. Decide whether the server is part of an existing Domino domain or is the first server in a new Domino domain
5. If this is the first server in a Domino domain, do the following:
b. Use the Domino server setup program to set up the server.
c. Complete network-related setup.
d. Create organization certifier IDs and organizational unit certifier IDs as required by the hierarchical name scheme.
e. Distribute certifier IDs to administrators.
f. Implement Domino security.
