Disables update of Notes Client License, Machine, Platform and Build in Person Doc

I ran into this question today on customer site and I promised to look up the notes.ini setting for the customer. In case you have not seen this before it could be interesting for roaming users or Citrix. And also in some cases if you don't want to write the client information like hostnames of the workstation into the person document the following information might be interesting for you.

When using roaming or in an Citrix environment the person document is often updated with different version number and specially machine names.
This can cause a lot of updates in the Domino directory -- specially in larger environments.

There is a new notes.ini setting that you could push via custom settings in the desktop policy to avoid updating the person document without disabling the dynamic configuration (which was the only way to prevent it in earlier releases).

Since 8.x you can use DISABLE_CLIENTRECORD=1 to disable updating the following fields

Notes Client License - ClientType
Notes Client Machine - CIntMachine
Notes Client Platform - CIntPltfrm
Notes Client Build - CIntBld

This might help to improve Domino Server performance in case of many roaming users or Citrix users.
