Stopping a Sametime server on Windows while Domino is running

IBM® Sametime® on Windows is installed on an IBM Domino® server. You can stop a Sametime server without stopping the Domino server from running. However to restart the Sametime server, you must shutdown the Domino server and restart both the Sametime and Domino servers. There are times when you will need to keep the Domino server running while doing Sametime maintenance tasks. For example, you might need to shut down Sametime services while you make configuration changes on the Sametime server, but you need to leave the Domino server running so you can access Domino databases on the server.

Procedure

  1. On the Sametime/Domino server, open the Domino server console.
  2. Stop the Sametime server without stopping the Domino server, by typing this command 
    Tell STADDIN Quit
  3. Open a DOS command prompt window on the Sametime/Domino server.
  4. To start the Sametime server, first stop the Domino server by typing this command in the command prompt window: 
    net stop "Domino Server"
  5. Again in the command prompt window, restart both the Domino and the Sametime servers, by typing this command: 
    net start "Domino Server"
    Note: Do not use the command load staddin to start Sametime from a running Domino server because doing so can cause the server to fail.
