Missing single sign-on in Lotus Notes client- Solution

I got asked an interesting question.

" we installed the lotus notes client and forgot to select the Single sign on option. Is there a way to add just that or do we have to re-install the entire lotus notes client?"


Well here you go

To install the single client logon feature silently on existing Notes deployed workstations, use the ADD the feature when calling the MSI, for example:


msiexec /i "\\path\to\installfiles\Lotus Notes 8.0.msi" ADDLOCAL=ClientSingleLogon /qb+

and use:

/qn for a completely silent install (no user intervention) WITHOUT progress bar, or

/qb for a silent install (no user intervention) WITH progress bar.

You can add a "+" switch, to see a dialog that states the installation is complete (for example: /qn+ , /qb+ ). this is a nice option to add so the user visually knows when the install is done.

Optionally, you can also hide the cancel button so your users cannot opt to cancel out of the install. just add a " ! " to the arguments ..
example: /qb!+

This is a really small install and only takes a few seconds to execute.

After sucessfull installation, the single client login service has to be started at the workstation. Then, logout and re-authenticate.
