Question #25

Why does the Onboarding Planning Tool (OPT) provide ways to change IBM Lotus Notes client usage information that is collected from a mail user's Person document in the IBM Lotus Domino Directory?

A. The Lotus Notes client usage information in a Person document becomes stale over time and
there is no way to tell if it is accurate.

B. A Person document lists all versions of the Lotus Notes client that the mail user has used in the
past. OPT selects the most recent entry from
that list, but the user might no longer be using that particular version of the client and might have
reverted back to using a version recorded
earlier in the list.

C. OPT does not provide ways to change Lotus Notes client usage information.

D. In addition to listing all versions of the Lotus Notes client that the mail user has used in the past,
a Person document also lists versions that are
scheduled to be deployed but not yet deployed, and OPT might have selected one of the versions
not yet deployed by mistake.
