Ferris blog: Notes/Domino Centralized Client Control Means Better Regulations Compliance, TCO Savings
September 23 2005
Ferris's David Via has a quick entry about policy-based administration in Notes/Domino 7:
Notes/Domino's very granular security model will help organizations address specific regulatory compliance challenges. More powerful policy-based management should also decrease operations costs and reduce costs of lost productivity due to client configuration problems.I think policy-based administration is ripe to be a much bigger component of the Notes/Domino administration model in "7".

@1 - to be clear, the stuff Ferris (and I) are talking about shipped first in Notes 6 (well, really in R5 as 'dynamic client configuration')...but is much improved in Notes/Domino 7. I said "ripe to be" as reference to adoption of "7", not a future release statement.
"Hannover", being built on the fully-provisioned Workplace client technology, will only make this story even stronger. And Domino will provision it.
Policy-based administration of client behaviors is one of the key advantages that Microsoft's been touting with Active Directory. Outlook's already got a rich set of policy control tools; for example, you can easily configure which rights management templates are available to clients, control what retention settings they have, and lots of other stuff. I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of policy management settings are available in Hannover.
