Domino console didnt pop out after click on the domino server icon

Hi Everyone.I have a situation here.Hopefully can get some advice from you all.

Recently i have setup a new domino server 8.5.1 Fix Pack1 in the Window Server 2008 platform.

one the domino server has fully setup, i click on the domino server icon.Then i notice that the domino console didnt appear in the screen.

so i check the server task and services.msc. I found out the domino server is fully started. If its fully started how come it didnt appear the domino console once i start up the domino server??

Please advice. Urgent!!

THanks

Subject: Some hints

Soooo, we have a couple issues in there.May I start with a question ?

what would you need the console for ?

→ once your server is setup and started and all geared up, the best thing is to leave it alone with no screen mouse keyboard, and do your admin stuff from a remote admin worstation with the Domino Admin client.

Now some further steps :

in most cases, the proper way to start a Domino Server on Windows is notto click the icon, but to have it started as a service (with no desktop interaction)

can you access your server from a remote Notes client ?

can you see the nserver process in Window’s process list ?

what happens when you start/stop the Lotus Domino Server service from the services.msc ?

What’s the command line associated with said service ?

Hope this helps
