Policies allow administrators to define rules or policies that can be implemented and enforced automatically across a Domino/Notes environment to manage the configuration, security, and installation of users and Notes clients. This tutorial provides a brief introduction and then walks you through a real-world scenario that shows how to set up policies on multiple servers.

  • How to manage Policy documents
  • How to use policy hierarchies and inheritance
  • How to use the Roaming User feature to easily support mobile users
  • How to set up several types of policy Settings documents

The policies features of Domino 6 have many capabilities, far too numerous to cover completely here, so the following panel contains links to all the details you will need to fully take advantage of all that policies have to offer.
