IBM Notes/Domino STEWLab Manual

Lab D1-1Installing the Domino ServerIntroduction:Setting up a Domino server is really easy. Click Next, Next, Next and you are done. However, if you don't understand all the simple pieces and how to configure them, then you can really cause yourself long-term trouble. This lab is designed to show you how to install the Domino server as the first server in your own domain.Description:In this lab you will run the install, configure the server and start it up.Procedure:Start the ImageLocate the base virtual machine used in the lab and start it in VMWare Workstation. Locate the image per the proctor instructions. Load the image into the VMWare Workstation program and start the machine. Make any changes to networking as per proctor instructions. The Vmware image networking should be set to host-only.

Once the virtual machine is started we need to log-in. Send Control-Alt-Delete via the VMWare workstation menu to get a log-in prompt. You can also right click on the VMWare image tab and select Control-Alt-Delete.

Choose the log-in prompt for Administrator. Enter the password passw0rd.

Install the server base

Open File Explorer and locate the installation files. The files are located on the X:\ drive in the Notes_Installs directory.

Right-click on the DOMINO_9.0_64_BIT_WIN_ENGLISH installation file and Run as Administrator. This will kick off the Domino server install. When the install program comes up, choose the directory C:\temp_dir_server as the folder to extract the installation. Click Next to extract the setup files to that directory. You may get a Security warning from Windows asking if you want to run the file. If so click on Run.

When you see the InstallShield Wizard, click Next.

Accept the license agreement and take the default directory for the installation directory and for the data directory.

On the next screen showing the installation type, leave the default for Domino Enterprise Server. Now click Next.

Review the options that come with the Enterprise Server installation. Now click Next to begin the installation. The installation should take less than 10 minutes on most machines.

At this point the server is installed but not configured. In order to configure the server we have to start the server. Find the IBM Domino Server icon on the desktop and double click to start the server setup process.

Server SetupIn this section we cover the basics of setting up a new domain for a Domino server.You should see a window advising that you are going to setup a new Domino server. Click Next to proceed.

Take the default that this will be a first server and click Next.

The install is smart enough to pull the hostname of the machine for the name of the domino server name. This may not always be the case so make sure to pay attention to the value in the future. You may also want to start the habit of adding a server title to help describe the function of the server. When it becomes one of hundreds in a domain, it may prove helpful. Click Next to proceed.

This step involves selecting a name for the Organization the Domino server. Choose demos as the org name and passw0rd as the certifier password. The certifier is one of the most important parts of a Domino domain and should be protected at all costs.

The next part is to create a domain name for the Domino Domain. In this case, we will choose demos again. Click Next to continue.

Finally, we need someone to take care of the domino server. We will create a new domino administrator for this domain. For this lab, enter Domino as the first name and Admin as the last name. For a password, choose apassw0rd. Changing the domino admin password to something different is good practice even in a lab environment. Also, check the box to save the id into a local directory. This will be handy for later. Click Next when done.

On the next screen, choose Web and Ldap as the services to setup for this server. Click Next when done.

If the next screen looks like the screenshot below, then the Domino server has successfully chosen the name for the server. If it does not, contact the class proctor.

On the next screen for securing the Domino server, take the defaults and click Next.

One the next screen, review the settings and then click Setup if they match the screenshot below. The setup should just take a few minutes to complete. If not use the
