We looked into it using Network Associate's Zero Admin Client(had no luck with this installing anything and did not renew our license) and Microsoft's SMS. Got close with SMS but ran out of time before our migration. Never got to the &quot;no user intervention&quot; but it did make the install easier. It looks like it can be done with quite a bit of effort but we quit trying when our boss bought us new sneakers.<br>
Good Luck,<br>

The new R5 client comes with an un-documented facility to run the Installshield silent mode of install - This is carried out as follows:-<br><br>1.You setup the first client using setup.exe -r ( the -r arguement actually creates in the Windows directory, a file called SETUP.ISS)<br><br>2. To re-create a Notes R5 client with the same parameters, but on another pc,&nbsp;&nbsp;run setup.exe -s &lt; the -s = silent mode, it will look for the Setup.iss in the same directory as the setup code). No prompts or dialog boxes are displayed, After the install has finished, you can view the status by viewing the file setup.log in the setup directory. - a result code of 0 will means a succesful install.)&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>In the notes program directory, the notes.ini has the following<br>[Notes]<br>Directory=C:\Lotus\Data<br>KitType=1<br>InstallType=2<br><br>This basically works on the same way as the old reponse file, but is a raw Install Shield batch file. Only installs the code - does not go though the actual user defined side of the install.
