Domino shutdown when User Logoff

hi all

I am having a problem with one of our Lotus Notes Servers. Every time the logged on Windows User logs off, the Lotus Notes Server shuts down cleanly. It is quite confusing, because there is no difference between Domain-Users and Local-Useres logging off. I tribble checked the user account the domino server is runnig at, it is “Local System Account”, so this is definitively NOT the reason. Furthermore the checkbox “Allow service to interact with desktop” is checked.

Does anybody has a hint? Would be very appreciated.

Thanks in advance, Stefan

This may not help, but it’s probably worth a try.

Use the command ‘NTSVINST -D’ to remove the service, then do ‘NTSVINST -c’ to re-add the service.

do NTSVINST /? to see other switches.

we recognized the same issue as you did - and it’s really unexplainable. the server quits immediatley at logoff although domino has been started as windows-service under the local system account.now we’re running domino without the property “allow service to interact with desktop” but this is just a workaround not a solution…

We are seeing this issue as well, and it’s definately introduced with the install of R6. I’m figuring it’s either a new bug in NSERVICE.EXE, or maybe the install overwrites an updated Microsoft DLL or other file needed for correct operation. Since I’m doing this as well, you might try re-installing Win2k SP3, and the later security update patches to see if this helps correct the problem. I’ll report back what I find.

To All,(UPDATED)

As stated in my previous post, I re-installed Win2k SP3 and that seemed to correct the issue with the Domino service shutting down at user logoff. However, after I tried logging out a few times, the problem reappeared. Guess this wasn’t the trick.

Hi,

I have the same problem on my Domino 6 servers. Anyone found a solution to this ?

We are running Win2k SP3 with all security patches recommended by Microsoft.

Regards, Martin.

I’m not sure this will fix it, but it’s worth a try.

At the command prompt, enter ‘ntsvinst -d’ to remove the service, then ‘ntsvinst -c’ to re-create it.

‘ntsvinst /?’ will show you the other options.

goog luck

hi

Thanx for your answer. I allready tried this, but without any success. The failure stays the same…

Just ran into this as well. It’s not happening on all of our servers though, just one (knock on wood). Anyone have any new insight into this problem?

Has anyone logged this as a problem with IBM/Lotus?

We are seeing the same problem with 6.0.1 and Windows NT 4.0.
