Lotus Domino Administrator 6 Help - Using default user settings when registering users

USER AND SERVER CONFIGURATION

Using default user settings when registering users
When you use default settings, the user registration process is fast and easy. The default settings can originate from a variety of sources:

Notes includes a set of default settings.
You can define default settings in the registration preferences in the Administration Preferences dialog box. Define these settings before registering users. The registration preferences do not offer all the default settings, only some of the more basic ones, such as designating the Registration server.

For more information on registration preferences, see Setting Registration preferences.

You can define default settings through the user registration interface using either of two methods: one method uses settings for a user previously added to the user registration queue, and the other method uses settings defined on the Register Person - New Entry dialog box.
For example, if you have already added users to the user registration queue, the non-user-specific settings that were applied to the last user, now serve as defaults for the next user. Similarly, you can define settings on the Register Person - New Entry dialog box. If you import or migrate users while in this mode, users inherit settings you defined.

Only settings you define as registration preferences remain from session to session. All other default settings return to Notes defaults each time you begin a new registration session.
