We are installing a Lotus Foundations Branch Office appliance at one of our customers. Lotus Foundations Branch Office is used in combination with a Lotus Domino Enterprise server. All configuration happens on the Enterprise server and is then replicated to the Foundations server.
For example: users are registrated on the Enterprise server, with the Foundations server as their mailserver.
Some of the users on the Foundations server had to be upgraded to roaming users (Notes roaming). It took me quite a while before this actually worked. When I upgraded an existing user on the Enterprise server to roaming, it worked within ten minutes. But when I did the same for a user on the Foundations server, it always ended up in tears (aka: not working).
After some searching and digging on the web, I finally found a solution. For some reason, roaming just wouldn’t work if the files were on the Foundations server itself. When I put them on the Enterprise server, everything seemed to work. Putting the roaming files on the Enterprise server will ofcourse cause a longer startup time if the user logs on for the first time, as the Enterprise server is probably off-site.
So in short:
You have to upgrade the user to roaming on the Enterprise server, select the Enterprise server as the roaming server, and then replicate this to the Foundations server (that, in combination with a few “tell adminp process new” commands).
By default, if you upgrade a user to roaming, it selects the mailserver of that user as the roaming server. So be sure to change this for a user on Foundations to the Enterprise server!

This is a tool which should be very usefull if you make use of Lotus Notes and if you have a lot of contacts on social networks and if you always wanted to sync both worlds …
“Keeping track of all your ‘virtual’ contacts on the various networks will is not easy, especially as the quantity of social networks you are registered to increased, and your global network increases as well. Locating a user you wish to collaborate with, can become tedious and subtract from the effectiveness of the networks and the effectiveness for you to be able to locate a specific user.
ViCo for Lotus Notes can help with this by importing all of your contacts from all supported social networks and providing them in a single point of access, a Lotus Notes database, allowing sorting and searching and categorising of the documents by network. The product also allows you to add specific contacts onto your Personal Address Book in Lotus Notes, making those contacts available in type-ahead searches from within the Lotus Notes mail file. The application also allows automatic synchronisation of changes of contact information direct to the Personal Address Book”
Unfortunately this product is not for free (approx. 49 euro/license). See this the Notes-Solutions website. Maybe a free version should be made for personal use as a lot of companies still do not see the benefit of social networks
