Using the Pre-configuration Test tool to check your environment
After you prepare your on-premises environment but before you run the Domain Configuration tool to configure it to connect to the IBM SmartCloud® Notes® service, download and run the SmartCloud Notes Hybrid Pre-configuration tool. This tool runs a series of tests to determine if the servers in your environment are set up correctly. The tool provides a report that identifies any issues that might prevent communication between your environment and the service. The tool does not change your configuration.
Before you begin
