1. Notes Client - Go To Help > About Notes. A splash screen will display the version and the release number.

2. Notes Domino - From the Domino Server Console type in 'Show Server' this will give you the current version and release number.

tnx for your help

but im looking to do it remotely, through a logon script
 
I know that when you update servers you get a file called upgrade.log, which details the incremental version information.

I'm afraid I can't remember if you get the same on the clients (I'd check here but the version they are using is very old and distributed via ZENWorks so just because I cannot find it does not mean it won't be on your Client PCs)

If it is there all you need to do is figure out a way to get the logon script to report the information within it back to you.

Sorry I can't be more helpful, one of the others here may know more.

Rgds,

Hi there,

We wanted the same info from all of our Notes users awhile back...instead of a logon script, we used an email to all employees that contained a button to click. The button code generated an email specifying the notes client version, and returned an email to the admin. I found this on another forum (sorry...), as I no longer had a copy of the original message we sent. Hope this helps...

Here's some code you can put into a button:

dim s as New NotesSession
dim doc as NotesDocument
dim body as NotesRichTextItem

set doc = new NotesDocuemnt(s.CurrentDatabase)
doc.Form = "Memo"
doc.Subject = "My Notes version"

set body = new NotesRichTextItem(doc, "Body")
call body.AppendText("My notes version is " & s.NotesVersion)

doc.SendTo = "desired email address"
call msg.Send(false)

Good Luck! This worked like a charm for us!
 
thanks but im still looking more for a logon script solution with vbs



thanks for all your help, its much apreciated
