When installing a Domino Server as an NT Service you must set up the server before attempting to start the Service. If an attempt to start the Service is made before setup, you receive an error message similar to the following:

Services: Could not start the Lotus Domino Server <Server Name> service on \\<LocalHost>
Error 2140.  An internal Windows NT error occurred.

Note: <Server Name> only appears if this is a Partitioned Server installation..

If you attempt to set up the server after receiving this error, you may receive the following message after running the setup client:

Lotus Notes: Unable to open desktop file.  Notes may have been terminated abnormally in an earlier session. Please logoff or shut down the operating system before running Notes again.

You need to reboot Windows NT before proceeding.
