225.0. "Running Domino as a NT Service" by NQOS01::rdodial_port13.32.81.16.in-addr.arpa::ATKINS (atkinss@mail.dec.com) Sat Mar 01 1997 01:40

I am working with another consultant bringing up Lotus Domino on a pair of 
Alpha 4000s on Windows NT.

We need to get an answer to this question.
Thanks for your help.

Partitioned Domino Servers use a batch file for server startup:

"
Set NOTESPARTITION=1
Start c:\notes\aserver.exe
"

In the NT Services configuration, there is a field where command line 
parameters can be added, however it can only handle one line.

I am looking for a way to set up each partitioned server startup as a separate 
NT service.

225.1Use Srvany.exeEPS::BELLKMon Mar 10 1997 13:4221
    We have used the srvany.exe and instsrv.exe from the NT resource kit. 
    The command would be instsrv "notes server name" srvany.exe
    domain/administrator password. The usage is documented in the
    srvany.wri in the resource kit. This will install a service that points
    to srvany.exe. Next you'll have to edit the registry under
    HKEY_Local_machine/current control/control/services/Notes Server Name/
    Add a key called Parameters/ Under parameters add 2 values Application
    and AppDirectory. Under Application point to the the nserve.bat file
    for that partition an example would be f:\notes\data\nserve.bat. Under
    the AppDirectory ent the notes data directory f:\notes\data. Do the
    same for any additional partitions.  To shut the notes server down
    gracefully we have copied the nserve.bat to kserve.bat and added a -q
    to the command line f:\notes\data\aserver.exe -q . 
     Another command line parameter that you may find useful is
    f:\notes\aserver.exe =f:\notes\data\notes.ini. This allows you to
    specficy which notes.ini aserver.exe or nserver.exe to use. This does
    not work with aservice.exe or nservice.exe which is why we had to use
    the srvany.exe from the resource kit. I hope this helps, any problems
    let me know.
