Task:
Add or remove the Lotus Domino Server / IBM Domino Server entry in the services list in the Services management MS Windows tool.

Solutions:
IBM includes an executable called ntsvinst.exe that adds or removes the IBM Lotus Domino service entry of MS Windows services.

A. To Remove / Delete:
Check the services list and confirm the exactly name of the services entry.
1. Start --> Settings --> Control Panel

2. (Assuming classic view) Administrative Tools --> Services

3. Verify the spelling of the service entry as it changes over all the versions. See example below:

Note: Leave the window open.

4. From a command prompt:
C:\IBM\Domino> ntsvinst -d -t"Lotus Domino Server (LotusDominodata)"
Note: There is NO SPACE after the lowercase T.

5. Refresh the services window to confirm the entry is removed.


B. To Re-Add (or add if you chose not to install the service during install):
1. From a command prompt:
C:\IBM\Domino> ntsvinst -c -t"Lotus Domino Server (LotusDominodata)" -ic:\ibm\domino\data\notes.ini
Note: There is NO SPACE after the lowercase T or I/i, and update the path after the -i.

2. Open the Services management tool and confirm the service was added successfully.
a. Start --> Settings --> Control Panel
b. (Assuming classic view) Administrative Tools --> Services


C. Alternate method to delete bypassing the IBM tool:
1. From a command prompt:
C:\> sc delete "Lotus Domino Server (LotusDominodata)"
