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
