How to Enable/Disable Lotus Notes Instant Messaging

How to Enable/Disable Lotus Notes Instant Messaging

Instant Messaging must be "turned on" for each user. It is recommended that the Department
Director/Chair/Manager send an email authorizing specific staff to have this feature turned on:

On West Campus: Send the email to "SupportTeam".
On E. Campus: Send the email to “SBUH-HSC Help Desk”

Then the server information must be added to the user’s Location preferences in the Notes client.

For Users with the Notes 8.5 Basic Configuration

• Click File > Locations > Edit current location

Click the Servers tab

In the IBM Lotus Sametime
server field enter:
noteslim2.cc.sunysb.edu/DoIT
(For Notes 8 Standard do not
enter the /DoIT)

Click Save and Close
