668.0. "Running Lotus Notes as a NT Service" by NQOS01::rdodial_port13.32.81.16.in-addr.arpa::ATKINS (atkinss@mail.dec.com) Sat Mar 01 1997 01:43

(Cross Posted in the CPDEV::Lotus_Notes)
I am working with another consultant bringing up Lotus Domino on a pair of 
Alpha 4000s on a Windows NT Cluster.

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.

    I have no clue related to Lotus or what you are attempting to do, but
    can you take advantage of the way NT allows multiple commands on a
    command line?
    
    e.g. Set NOTESPARTITION=1 & Start c:\notes\aserver.exe
    
    Just wondering...

    To run the domino server as a partition server on a NT server, you need
    two software from the NT 4.0 resource kit. They are instsrv.exe and
    srvany.exe. Basically, you need to dtype the following at the command
    prompt :
    
       instsrv  Domino_name  c:/srvany.exe  -a Administrator -p password
    
    where Domino_name is the NT service name for Domino ( user supply )
          -a indicate the administrator name
          -p indicate the password for the administrator
    
    This command will start domino as a services and use the control
    panel to change the service to manual.
    
    Then, to start it or end it, you need a script.
    
    Is this what you want ?
