Is That An Admin Client In Your Pocket...

One thing I forgot to mention about IBM Lotus Nomad is that it will only install from the standard 'Notes Client' installation files. If you try the setup commandline on the Admin/Designer client install files then it will just fail. So how do I go about getting a notes admin client working on the USK Key, well it's actualy very very easy.
The differences between a standard notes client install and the admin install are very few. They are both built on the same base package, indeed if you remember back to the R4 days you didn't even need to install anything else for designer access to databases, it was already there and this is kinda still true today.
To turn your recently installed Lotus Nomad client into a Lotus Admin Designer Nomad client you just need to copy over 4 files to the USB Key :
admin.exe
designer.exe
events4.ntf
domadmin.ntf
That's it, nothing more is needed. Just start up your Lotus Nomad client and you will see the icons for the Admin and designer clients appear like magic in the bookmark bar.

Oh and I keeep mentioning USB Keys when talking about Lotus Nomad. Well it will work with any removable drive. As long as the OS sees it as a drive letter then even your iPod could carry around your Lotus Nomad client and you'd probably have a lot more room for creating local replicas...

Sean - The only way would be to store the files on a common drive letter which Notes will point to. The signature path is in your calendar profile, and Nomad won't touch that.
Alternatively, you could just ditch the desktop install completely - I've found I don't need one any more.
