Upgrade by Mail

Enhanced upgrade by Mail for 5.0x to Rnext upgrade
The enhanced Upgrade-by-Mail feature provides a wizard-like interface to allow Domino administrators to create and mail a customized upgrade message to Notes users. At the Administrator's option, recipients can upgrade their Notes client code by clicking a single button in the memo, or run setup automatically upon opening memo.

Administration

Ability for Administrators to create New Replicas of Mail Files
The new Create and Move Database Replica feature allows administrators to create and move database replicas regardless of whether they have access to the database. Administrators can create a replica without opening the database and obtaining the replica ID. The three administration process requests that formerly checked for the replica ID no longer do so. These requests are Check Access for Create Replica, Check Access for Move Replica, and Check Access for Non-cluster Replica Move.

The primary benefits derived from this new feature are ease of administration for load-leveling applications and more consistent delegation of administration duties. Application load leveling is more available because administrators can easily move applications from overloaded servers to less-utilized servers. Delegation of duties is more consistent because administrators alone can move applications to other servers while application designers can concentrate on designing applications.

DOLS

CD Level 1 support (pre pack of DOLS file sets and application replicas)
DOLS Client CD can be configured to pre pack application replicas.
