Planning your upgrade to Notes and Domino 12.0.2
- Security considerations prior to upgrading
It’s important to review your security practices before upgrading, especially if you are upgrading from an old version. - Preparing your environment for the upgrade
Time spent doing a thorough evaluation of your environment prior to upgrading is time well spent. Capturing baselines of your existing server infrastructure allows you to compare how the upgraded environment is performing. - Planning the deployment of the new release
Depending on the size of your organization and the number of Domino servers involved, an organization upgrade schedule may range from a few hours to a few weeks or months. - Upgrading a Domino server
Before upgrading a Domino server, review the upgrade considerations and choose the upgrade option to use. - Upgrading post-V11 AD Password Sync to V12.0.2 or later
Upgrade Domino AD Password Sync installations that use Domino 12.0 or 12.0.1 to Domino 12.0.2 in order to use the new “AD Password Sync” server install type available in 12.0.2 and later. - Planning the deployment of a new version of Notes
Understand the things to consider and actions to take before installing a new version of HCL Notes.
