At one time the Domino server only acted like a normal application. But now you have the option of running as a service. I have a server task that runs fine no matter how loaded with the exception of when the Domino server is running as a service and you try to run the server task from the DOS prompt. I get an access violation. Is there any documentation that says hey we our going to allow the server to run as a service so these are the things you need to change to make sure it will work with this?
Subject: Domino running as service problem
There are no special issues to take into account when running as a service. Your server should still work fine. Are you running as system account or with a dedicated user to start the service?
In older Windows versions, you needed to adjust itime and idate settings in the registry for non-US servers but the latest Windows platforms adjust this setting correctly (when used as service). Also pay attention to network drive mappings. If Domino runs as an application, you can use mappings since they are part of that user environment, not so if you run the server as a service (unless you use a user account instead of system account).
Can you be more specific on which server task stops?
