UPGRADING TO LOTUS NOTES 6 AND LOTUS DOMINO 6


Obsolete NOTES.INI settings
With updates to the Domino Directory and new functionality added to Lotus Notes/Domino 6, some NOTES.INI settings have become obsolete. Lotus Notes/Domino 6 ignores most obsolete settings. However, removing or commenting out obsolete settings is recommended. You can use a text editor to edit the NOTES.INI file.

The following table lists Lotus Notes/Domino 5 and Lotus/Notes Domino 4.6 NOTES.INI settings that are either no longer supported or no longer require you to manually set their values in Lotus Notes/Domino 6.

For more information about supported NOTES.INI settings, see the topic NOTES.INI Settings.
