Domino as a service under windows 2K server

Hello all,

I was running my domino server as a service with the local system account. To be able to use mapped folder links, I have started domino with a special user I have created. Sinds I have made that, when I start the domino service, I have no console at my server ?? Is it normal ? Can I run without problem domino with a user account ? Thank you for your answer.

As far as I know, When you run Domino Server as a service with some User Account/Password, you wont get a Server Console. So it seems normal.

Is there a special interest to run domino with a dedicated user account ? Is there a command to show the console ? Thank you !

You might not be able to interact with the service unless you allow it to log on as the local system account. You should probably just run domino with the server controller. You’ll have to go into the registry and add the -jc argument to ImagePath key that points to the nserver executable (located in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LotusDominoServer). This will enable you to run the domino console app to view what happens on the server. I usually use the -jc -c tag to prevent the console from auto running when I log onto the server. Then, if necessary, I start the domino console manually.

Yes, there are special interests to run domino with a user account.If you want to access other network resources on different servers through your domino application (maybe by using an agent) then you would need a dedicated network user account to run the domino server.

I’m trying run domino with a user account but the service that is set to automatically start is not starting. Have any of you experience this problem and did you find a solution?
