Good Morning,I’ve installed a Domino 8 server on Windows 2003 R2 Enterprise, but the Domino Service does not start.

Could you advise if Domino 8 is compatible with Windows 2003 R2 ?

Thanks for your help !

Subject: Domino as a service

The problem sounds like the server was not added as a Windows service when it was installed.To reinstall Domino as a service:

  1. Open a Command Prompt window by selecting Start → Run, type cmd, and press Enter.

  2. Issue the following command:

ntsvinst -c -t"Lotus Domino Server (lotusdominodata)" -ic:\notes\domino\data\notes.ini

Note: There is no space between -t and the first quote.

  1. Refresh the Services window to confirm the server has been installed as a service.
