The Lotus C++ API Toolkit file contains several updated files, but a server that is running SharePoint Portal Server 2003 only requires one. For SharePoint Portal Server 2003 SP1 or earlier versions of SharePoint Portal Server 2003, version 11.0.6715.0 or earlier versions, this fie is Lcppn201.dll. For later versions of SharePoint Portal Server 2003, this file is Lcppn24.dll. The appropriate file for your version must be extracted to the following location on each server that is running SharePoint Portal Server 2003 that will also use Lotus Notes:

C:\Program Files\SharePoint Portal Server\Bin

After you extract the file that is appropriate for your version, follow the instructions in the "Configuring the Lotus Notes Protocol Handler Help" topic.
