I wrote this exam the other day and I was overwhelmed with the amount of questions pertaining to defining and managing policies.

So, if you plan to take LOT-983: IBM Lotus Notes Domino 8.5 Managing Servers and Users, some hints on what you need to study.

Policy settings documents cover these administrative areas:

Activities — Use activities policy settings to define a user’s activities server and assigned port, and whether the user names, passwords, and activities data are to be encrypted with SSL.

Archive — Use archive policy settings to control mail archiving. Archive settings control where archiving is performed and specify archive criteria.
Note In previous releases, the Archive policy settings document was named the Mail archive policy settings document.

Desktop — Use desktop policy settings to update the user’s desktop environment and to assign the settings that are applied only once, during user setup. You can use the desktop policy settings document to establish desktop policy settings and setup policy settings. Desktop policy settings control the user’s workspace and are enforced the first time a user logs in to Notes and runs setup. After the initial setup, you can use them to update the user’s desktop settings. These settings control availability of functions such as Widgets and Live Text, the composite applications editor, calendar and scheduling, and many others.

Mail — Use mail policy settings to set and enforce client settings and preferences for mail and for Calendaring and Scheduling.
Lotus Traveler — Use the Lotus Traveler policy settings document to define preferences for synchronizing Lotus Domino users’ mail database data with their mobile handheld devices. You can synchronize Email, Calendar, To-Do, Address Book and Journal data.

Lotus Symphony — Use the Symphony (previously named Productivity Tools) policy settings document to define whether users can use IBM® Lotus® Symphony™ editors and to designate which files and templates they can use.

Registration — If a policy including registration policy settings is in place before you register Notes users, these settings set default user registration values including user password, Internet address format, Domino roaming user designation, and mail.

Roaming — Use the Roaming policy settings document to configure file server roaming for registered Notes standard configuration users.

Security — Use security settings to set up administration ECLs and define password-management options, including the synchronization of Internet and Notes passwords.

Setup — All of the settings available in the setup policy settings document are now also included in the desktop policy settings document. We strongly suggest you use the new, updated desktop policy settings document to define both your desktop policy settings and your setup policy settings. If a policy including setup policy settings is in place before you set up a new Notes client, these settings are used during the initial Notes client setup to populate the user’s Location document. Setup settings include Internet browser and proxy settings, applet security settings, and desktop and user preferences.

BTW, please don’t consider this a full brain dump of what is required to pass this IBM Lotus exam. We highly encourage you to buy our practice test for LOT-983: IBM Lotus Notes Domino 8.5 Managing Servers and Users
