Re: Customized letterhead

[aj.mccartan@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Sorry Folks - I am on so many mailing lists.  I probably should have 
looked twice and tailored this for an iSeries audience.
Sometimes I jot off a solution in email - and only in hind sight realize 
it may have come off a bit terse.  My apologies

That being said - I think it is fair to say that the majority of 
environments now have Microsoft as their NOS.
I also think that we as Domino users should recognize where it is in our 
best interest to provide solutions.  It has been an inclination
in the Domino world to use the Tool to do everything - maybe we should 
consider off-loading some projects to a more appropriate
domain - literally and figuratively.

Of course this solution wont apply to those environments that dont use 
Novell or AD (presuamably very few of those left)
You should exploit the LAN/NOS people as they are typically at the front 
end of the employee provisioning process. And 
typically have dedicated staff for account creation.  You direct the task 
of acquring and pasting in pictures to that personnel.
Based on personal experience you DO NOT want to be involved in working 
with the user community when personal pictures
are the issue... 
"I hate my picture, can you use this picture instead", 
"I am contacting a lawyer, that is sexual harrasment to have my picture 
available" 
"I love my picture can I have more copies"
" That wierd guy in finance printed out my picture and has it hanging from 
his desk..."

Once the pictures are in a LDAP accessible domain like AD or NDIS.  You 
cna become a consumer and paste in the pictures
wherever and however you like.  Your directory stays clean and compact. 
You dont have to deal with cropping/resizing pictures

Re: Customized letterhead






"If you are like the rest of the world you probably already have either an
ADAM server established in your AD environment."

aj,

1) If "AD" stands for Active Directory and you think we are all 
running it, then I suspect you are wrong. Why would be people running 
Domino on iSeries be using Active Directory?
2) It might be that you sentence will make sense depending on the 
other option, but you didn't follow "either an ADAM server 
established in your AD environment." with an "or". Or what?
