ClientGenie is a comprehensive and feature rich Notes client administration solution that is simple to install and use.

  • Central Configuration database
  • Central Inventory storage database (this stores the user IDs, address books, XML files that define the users Notes environment etc.)
  • Help database



What is installed on the Notes client?
  • one DLL file from BCC

Getting ready to use!
Once installation is completed you are ready to implement standards and manage changes to the Notes client simply by creating control documents in the Central Configuration database. ClientGenie's Central Configuration database uses control documents to manage general settings, workspace page settings, database distribution/deletions, INI file changes, connection and locations documents changes and more. These documents can be applied to an single user, a group or to everyone. The advantage is that by creating one document in the Central Configuration database, you can add a new database icon to all users workspaces or you could change all database icons to point to a new server. The new location document would also be created for everyone by simply taking a few minutes to setup the appropriate change document in the Central Configuration.

This is a NO BUTTON approach! These changes are made to the Notes client without the need of user interaction. Learn what ClientGenie exactly is doing on your clients,
