There is a hidden view in the local names.nsf called ($policies)  delete all documents in this view.

If the names.nsf has not been redesigned you call force the client at start up to redesign the files by changing the following in the notes.ini with the client down

setup=48

templatesetup=48

If you want to force compact on all the files to the latest ods  add/change NSF_UpdateODS=1

Once you restart the client you should have all db upgraded and the standard local dbs redesigned to the Notes 9.01 version.  After a few minutes you should also have the user policies downloaded to the local names.nsf

If all this works then  you can just email a button to all users to click that will do the above steps.
 

Thanks for the info Barry.

I have put this values into a notes.ini (in the shared data directory) Notes client that is totally new (= no data directory created yet). And the Client Configuration Wizard gets broken since it keep asking for an ID-file. 

So this can only be used after databases has been roamed down from server.

I add

setup=48

templatesetup=48

to a roamed users Notes.ini and restart Notes klient. The design of bookmark.nsf and names.nsf gets updated but the policys does not work. The client gets restared several times during an hour where mail file is opened each time, but policy does not bite. I also remove everything from $Policys view in local names.nsf and wait until it gets populated again. Still no luck with the policy.

I continue to debug this.

Update with help from IBM Support:

Desktop settings for Roaming Users cannot be "set initial", it has to be "set value and prevent changes". Clearing out the $policys view is not enough.
