Notes 8.02 client installed on Windows 2008 64 bit Terminal server. Upon launching the Lotus Notes client it frequently hangs / can not start up. Sometimes error “Shared Memory from a previous Notes/Domino run has been detected, this process will exit now” or “An error was encountered while opening a window” is displayed. Usually it just hangs with the Notes start up information displayed. (Same issue for Basic and Standard client)
Running “nsd -kill” from the data directory, does not solve the issue. Nor does a clean uninstall/reinstall of the Notes client software.
Rebooting the operating system (OS) does sometimes resolve the issue.
Removing the user profile from OS and reinstall of the Notes client software solves the issue.
Subject: notes 8.0.1 also not stable in windows 2003 64-bit Terminal Server
I’ve found it not stable in Windows 2003 64-bit Terminal Server. I was told by IBM that the notes client is not supported in 64-bit but will consider it in the new release.
The below URL may contains some useful information.
Hi, thank you for the response.I had a look at the posted, and also made a multi user install. STill no success. Then, advised by someone, I added DEBUG_GLOBAL_NAMESPACE_DISABLE=1 in the users notes.ini, it works. Maybe it would have worked with the single user installation as well, when adding the above.
Your notes.ini entry gave me at least the chance to launch the client again. Further investigations have shown, that the file events4.nsf cannot be opened as a normal standard shared db in the notes client. Trying to rename it on OS to force the client to generate a new one doesn’t work either: “The file is in use…”
Running this client on a server, I cannot restart the machine right now. But I hope after a restart I will be at least able to get rid of the corrupted events4.nsf.
After all this, I’d like to remove the notes.ini entry to get back to normal…
