Instead of posting a third SnTT post this
week, let's try out posting one of my answers from the R6/R7
forum on developerWorks:Lotus.
While the answer I provided was rather brief, this will allow me to expand
upon it a little.
The question was: How do you stop a policy from being pushed to one user?
Polices are pushed to the client using a process called Dynamic Client Configuration (DCC). What is DCC?
Dynamic Client Configuration (DCC) is a Notes client process that runs when the user authenticates with the server. DCC updates certain information between the Notes client and the Domino server. A few items are the internet mail address and Policies. The DCC executable, ndyncfg.exe, is located in the Notes client program directory. It runs when the user authenticates with their home server, and either their Person document has been modified, or their assigned Desktop Policy has been modified since the last authentication. DCC is designed as a push mechanism only from the server to the client.
How do you stop it from being pushed to a particular client?
To either disable or enable Dynamic Client Configuration:
1. Edit the Location document from the user's workstation.
2. Go to Actions, Advanced, Set Update Flag. You will see a dialog box that states
"Allow administrators to keep this location's settings up to date with those settings on your mail server."
3. Click Yes to enable or No to disable.
4. Save and close the Location document.
To check whether DCC is enabled for a user:
1. Put the current Location document in Edit mode.
2. From the menu, select File, Document Properties, and then click the Fields tab.
3. Check the value of the Field named "AcceptUpdates":
Another option to disable DCC is to add a line to the users' notes.ini: DisableDynConfigClient=1. If the user isn't getting the updates, the flip side is to check that the line isn't in the notes.ini.
Since I am on the topic, Lotus has published a FAQ on DCC which will provide you with more information. Questions such as "How do I know it is working?," "How do I know it isn't working?," and "How can I troubleshoot DCC issues?" are answered.

- If the value is set to "1", DCC is enabled
