Registering existing users or groups quickly without prompts

About this task

Use this method to register many existing users or groups at one time. Users and groups are registered using the existing information in the registration queue so that you are not prompted to enter user-specific or group-specific information on multiple dialog boxes for every user or group that you are registering. This is the recommended method for registering multiple users and groups at one time, but this method can be used to quickly register an individual user or group.

Procedure

1. From the Microsoft™ Management Console (MMC), click Users.

2. On the Results pane, right-click the users and/or groups you are registering and then click Register in Domino.

Tip: You can choose multiple users and/or groups and then click Register in Domino once for all of your selections.

4. Choose one of these options:

Table 1. Options for handling registration errors

Field	Action
If error happens during registration of some users and/or groups, try to register them later	Click this check box to register any users or groups whose registrations fail on the first try. If not selected, users and groups are not registered if the first attempt fails.
If registration is canceled for some users and/or groups, try to register them later	Click this check box to allow to attempt to register any users or groups whose registrations are canceled on the first try. If not selected, users and groups will not be registered if the first attempt is canceled. This option is active only if Prompt for the name and password of each user, and for the name and members of each group button is selected.

Note: You have the option of choosing one of the following if you decide not to register now:
• Click Register later to store the users or groups in the registration queue. You can then register them later.
• Click Do not register to cancel user registration.

After successful registration in Notes, users and groups are synchronized with the Active Directory.

Registering existing users or groups individually with prompts

About this task

Use this method to register users and groups individually. You are prompted to enter multiple fields of information on multiple dialog boxes for each user and for each group that you register. This method is recommended when registering very small numbers of users or groups, or when you need to modify information for users and groups during the registration process. This option provides administrators with control over Notes registration information for each user or group. When used to register numerous users or groups, this method is time-consuming.

During group registration, for each group you can specify the members that are to be registered in Notes by clicking the Members button on the dialog box on which it appears. You are also able to specify a new group name, description, and group type if you want to modify any of those.

Procedure

1. From the MMC, click Users.

2. On the Results pane, right-click the user or group you are registering and then click Register in Domino.

3. Choose Prompt for the name and password of each user, and for the name and members of each group. When this option is chosen, the If registration is canceled for some users and/or groups, try to register them later check box is also active.

4. Choose one of these options:
