Error message "You cannot use the administration program while the domino server is running"

Hi,

I have the following problem:

I´m trying to access to a domino client by terminal server and I get this message: "You cannot use the administration program while the domino server is running… ". At first I checked the user account rights on the lotus folder, but they were ok. Then I tryed all the solutions for this error on the web, but nothing happened. After that I discovered that when I shut down the service (Lotus Domino) I can use lotus notes, after that I started de Domino Server manually and no problem. But when I close session in terminal server the server stops working (as expected). So I´ve arrived to the conclusion that there´s a problem when the server starts automatically.

I hope someone can help me! Thanks. Martin.

Hi Martin,

  1. Give the admin rights to the login and check.

  2. Else someone would have be logged in the server with the client.

Hi, I solved the problem! After I tryed all the solutions posted in forums (none of them worked), I decided to re install the notes clients and it finally worked!!!

Try searching the forum for the message. It has nothing to do with the user, admin rights, or the server (but it is a really really crappy error message).

Hi All,

I have same issue here with one of user, which I resolved successfully by doing below troubleshoot

Delete Workspace folder, Cache.NDK, and give admin rights to the user and ask to restart the PC.

Should be working fine.
