Strange Server tasks

Domino/Notes Version: 12.0.2 FP6

Operating System: Windows 2019
Client (Notes, Nomad Web, Nomad Mobile, Android/iOS, browser version):

Problem/Query:

On installing 12.0.2 FP6 Domino onto some new servers, I have a specific task to remove the following tasks:

  1. Mail router (we do not use Domino for mail)
  2. Calendar connector
  3. Scheduler Manager
  4. Rooms and Resources Manager

I have just been notified by our support staff that all of these tasks are now running on the servers. In addition LDAP was also not configured yet one of our DC’s are listed on the LDAP config in the Notes.ini BUT the LDAP task is not running thankfully.

How can this happen and what do I need to do to prevent all of the above tasks from running in the future as well as all the routing tasks.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, Mark.

You may want to check the notes.ini for your HCL Domino server and look for the ServerTasks line. Remove the following entry:

  1. Router (Mail Router)
  2. Calconn (Calendar Connector)
  3. Sched (Scheduler Manager)
  4. RnRMgr (Rooms and Resources Manager)
  5. You may also want to remove AMgr (Agent Manager) if agents are not used, and Replica (Replicator) if the server does not perform scheduled replication.

If the problem persists, you may want to open am HCL Support case. This may require some files like console.log and names.nsf.

Hi Ian,

I have checked the notes.ini and I can see that all of the tasks are in there. I am still confused as to how this has happened.

Of all the servers that have been deployed only two or three have these tasks running now.

I have stopped the tasks for now on all of these servers and edited the notes.ini and removed them. The non-prod servers were restarted as a test, and the tasks have not restarted so that is a good thing.

Yeah all of the others I need running :slight_smile:

Thank you for your advice it is appreciated.

Could be someone re-installed 12.0.2 and then installed 12.0.2FP6. Set the following notes.ini setupleaveservertasks=1
and this will prevent your ServerTasks lines from being updated when a Major Release is installed and setup runs.
