Windows 2008 64bit permissions and Lotus Domino 8.5.x

  • 772

I have an application running on a Domino Server (8.5.3) on Windows 2008 64 bit O/S.

Since the recent upgrade to 2008, the agents with OLE integration to MS Word no longer run when the Domino Server runs as a service. This does work when it's run as a standard application.

Does anyone have any thoughts as to why this is happening.

My immediate thought is Windows 2008 - so I have tried the following:

  • turning off UAC
  • changing the environment variable for the location of the temp (and tmp) directory to be c:\temp
  • made sure that MS Word runs as administrator
  • tested running MS Word in compatibility mode

The error occurs when the system is trying to edit the document. This all works fine when Domino is running as a local application.

Does anyone have any other thoughts for what I can change?

    I believe you need to create a folder called “Desktop” in C:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile.

    It sounds weird but give it a try.

    I have blogged about it: http://per.lausten.dk/blog/2011/04/excel-automation-on-windows-server-2008-x64.html
