The CONFIGFILE= setting in the NOTES.INI file points to a text file (for example ConfigFile=C:\Program Files\Lotus\Notes\Data\setup.txt) that contains the Lotus Notes users' setup parameters that you want to pass to the installer for use in configuring th euser after installation is complete. The Lotus Notes installer processes the contents of this file to complete the user's setup. The user is able to bypass any install screen panels or prompts for which parameters have been provided in the setup.txt file.

The settings that you can configure in the text file are as follows:

Note: For more information about using scriptable setup, see "Example: Applying scriptable setup using a transform file during Lotus Notes install" and Lotus Tech Note 1112835 "How to set up a Notes client without user intervention using a scriptable setup."

Note: Support for direct dialup modem (X.PC) connections is not available after Domino 8.5.
