Hi. When i first set up the server, i did not install notes as a service. Now that i have set it to start as a service, i no longer get the server console. How do i get back the server console? Thanks in advance.

You have the service set to logon as something other that the system account. This allows the service to use alternate credentials when accessing network resources, but prevents the console from displaying.
You can use the admin client (web and other) to access the client.

For some reason the system account will not start the service. I have the admin client but i need the console up and running. Is there anything i can try to get the console?Thanks in advance

If the system account won’t start the service, I’d suspect a problem with the ACL for the install folder.
The system account should have full control over the data folder, but I’m not certain what minimum is acceptable for the executables. Perhaps just give the system account full control for the entire domino & data folders?
Other than that, what error does it give you when you try to start the service as the system account?

Every Windows service can be set to interact with the UI or not. Go to the Services panel in Control Panel/Administrative Tools and check the setting. (It should normally be set to “blind” to prevent accidental console interaction – the Domino server is usually just one machine hooked through a KVM to a single keyboard/monitor and you don’t need anyone typing bad commands.)

Thanks Peter. That did it.
