Without a special configuration step, various server applications log out from the Sametime Community server on Microsoft Windows 2008 under load

The steps bellow are from From TN 1441275

To resolve the problem perform the following steps

1. The TCP stack in Windows 2008 has a few new features that are not yet supported by every
   hardware. The following configuration changes will set the TCP stack to work in a more “conventional” way.  To do so, type from command line:

       netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled
       netsh int tcp set global rss=disabled
       netsh int tcp set global chimney=disabled
       netsh int tcp set global congestionprovider=none

   A reboot is needed after making this changes.

2. For Sametime 8.5.1, set the following flag under the [Config] section of the sametime.ini file:

BREAK_CONN_ON_ZERO_BYTES_SENT=0

This setting is set automatically during install of 8.5.2 on Windows 2008.

For 8.5.0, a hotfix, LKRK-86RGNA, is available for part of the components: STCommunity, STMux, STOnlineDir, STUserStorage.  Open a service request with IBM Support to determine if this hotfix is applicable for your environment if you are not able to upgrade to 8.5.1 or later.

The scriptable setup option uses a setting in the notes.ini file to provide information to the client setup wizard. During installation, the wizard displays only the panels that users need to set up the Notes client.

The paper describes the steps and best practices for migrating an existing standalone WebSphere Portal 6.0 environment to a standalone WebSphere Portal V7 and should be followed by the majority of customers, even those in a Web Content Management environment.

The foundation for this document is the initial release of the V7 Information Center with additional information based on the outcome and experiences of our pre-release testing. With this document, we provide a more comprehensive guide and highlight some of the common pitfalls and mistakes when migrating.
