InDesignServer Service not starting on Windows Server 2003 (32bit & 64 bit)

Note: this issue is different from this thread on a similar issue.
This problem has plagued me for weeks and I finally give up. InDesign Server installs successfully and the InDesignServerService starts, but the server does not run. I can only run the server from the command line. I've followed these installation instructions but run into the following problems:
1. installing by the command line: InDesignServerService /install fails and produces the following error log:
Installing service InDesignServerService...
Creating EventLog source InDesignServerService in log Application...
Rolling back assembly 'E:\Program Files\Adobe InDesign CS4 Server\InDesignServerService.exe'.
Affected parameters are:
   logtoconsole =
   assemblypath = E:\Program Files\Adobe InDesign CS4 Server\InDesignServerService.exe
   logfile = E:\Program Files\Adobe InDesign CS4 Server\InDesignServerService.InstallLog
Restoring event log to previous state for source InDesignServerService.
2. I cannot install or load the snap-in to MMC. When I try to install regsvr32 InDesignServerMMC.dll it cannot be found (as it's not in the InDesign Server directory). However InDesignServerMMC64.dll is in there and I was able to load the snap-in using regsvr32 InDesignServerMMC.dll, but the server still only runs when being started from the command line.
As I mentioned, InDesign Server runs fine when I have an active command line window open and run InDesignServer, but the moment I close the command line window, the server shuts down. Any ideas?

Well, when you run it using command line if you close the command line, of course that servers going to shutdown. So, if you wanna run without any extra window opened, you have to start your service. Go to the windows service window (administrative tools) and start the service (it's installed automatically).
Is your O.S. 32 or 64 bits? If it's 32 you install the wrong application, you have to install the compatible version with your O.S.
If you installed correctly, you can try up the service using the follow command in you prompt.
net start InDesignServerService (in this case you can close window when successefull menssages appear)

  • Indesign Server CS4 service is not starting on Windows Server 2003 64bit

    Hello guys,
    I am not able to start Indesign Server CS4 service on windows Server 2003 SP2 64bit .
    I have successfuly configured the service with InDesignServerService.msc, set the port to 18555. InDesignServerWinService the Log On option is set to "This Account". Also tried using different accounts!
    When starting the indesign service from windows Service control panel I get this error:
    Could not start the InDesignServerService x64 service on Local Computer.
    Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
    Error log from windows Event viewer:
    Error
    Timeout (30000 milliseconds) waiting for the InDesignServerService x64 service to connect.
    Indesign server application works if launching from command line with the specified port 18555.
    If trying to lauch IndesignServerService.exe from command line, there is a delay and finally nothing happens.
    I have also tried launching 32bit indesign server service and the same error comes.
    Would be grateful for your thoughts!

    Hi Chandi,
          If Microsoft fix is not working or it is too old to apply then go for manual process i.e.;
          In the Microsoft KB article follow this :-
         Services that use the local system account to log on to a Windows Server 2003-based computer start if the Allow service to interact with desktop
         option is turned on. To turn this option on, follow these steps:
    In the Services tool, click the service that you want to start, and then click Properties.
    Right-click the Log On tab, and then click to select the Allow service to interact with desktop check box.
    Click OK to exit the Properties dialog box.
       This will solve your problem.
       Thanks,

  • Acrobat 9 pro support windows server 2003 32bit?

    in the acrobat 9 pro readme file,I see the system requiement:
    Windows Server® 2003 (with Service Pack 2 for 64-bit);
    my question is that does acrobat 9 pro support windows server 2003 32 bit?
    I have install it at windows server 2003 32bit,
    but when i open it, a message box
    "Licensing for this product has stopped working"
    i have try the solution in kb405970, and can not resolve it.
    so manybe really it doesn't support windows server 2003 32 bit?

    John makes some very good points but I would like to clarify one thing from his post: you are planning three migrations:
    1. From 32bit -> 64bit
    2. From Windows to Linux
    3. From Oracle 10gR2 to 11gR2
    The second of these is the one most liekly to give you grief. You certainly should not attempt to combine it with a database upgrade. Either move the database to RHEL and then upgrade it, or upgrade it on Windows and then move it to the new server.
    Of these, the first is the least controversial. So it's a nice point whether it is worth upgrading from Windows 32bit to Windows 64bit prior to moving to Linux.

    to RedHat linux server 64bit.
    The current db version on windows is 10.2.0.5.0
    The new version on linux will be 11.2.0.3.0
    If anyone crossed such a white paper describing the pros & cons for such a migration..

  • We're running Windows server 2003 32bit and want to migrate to Windows server 2012R2 64bit, can someone provide a step by step procedure on how to migrate instances on ADAM to AD LDS?

    I have no experience in dealing with servers, but my senior has asked me to investigate on how to migrate instances on ADAM (windows server 2003 32bit) to AD LDS (Windows server 2012R2 64 bit) as in place upgrade is not an option as we're running a 32bit
    Server and want to migrate to a 64bit Server. can someone please give me a Walkthrough on how to do this.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    it'd be of great help if you could give me a step by step process of replication.
    There is no step-by-step article/guide of replication process, replication between AD LDS instances of the same configuration set is an automatic process.
    All we need to make sure is to create a replica of the existing instance, and there is no network/security obstacle preventing the replication.
    Please note that we need to install AD LDS from Server manager on Windows Server 2012 and 2012 R2.
    More information for you:

  • 2007A SP01 PL10 not installing on Windows Server 2003 ?

    Hi all:
    Yesterday 2007A SP01 PL10 was released. Trying to keep our customer's installations current, I proceeded to try and install the patch on different systems. So far I was lucky with Windows XP and Windows Server 2008 trial installations. However, on all the Windows Server 2003 installations I have tried (OS patched completely), the COMMON database upgrade either closes without error message, or opens up a debug message with no error number or description after clicking the very first "Next" button in the installation program.
    Has anybody seen the same effect anywhere? Has anybody been able to successfully install PL10 on a Windows Server  2003? Are there any known issues?
    Thanks,
    Joerg.

    Hi,
    I got the same answer to my support call for my error messages. We are loading that patch and will attempt again. Ironically, I had looked at the same note, and even bookmarked it becuase of the slow 8.8 client upgrade thread, but I didn't think the two were related.
    The note indicates only that SAP Business One does not start after patch file application.
    "You might encounter one of the following situations after having applied a new SAP Business One patch file:
    Your SAP Business One system fails to start after you have applied a new SAP Business One patch file that you downloaded from SAP Service Marketplace.
    If you want to find out whether you are affected by this problem, refer to section "Detecting whether SAP will not start up due to missing MS patch" in the attached PDF document.
    Your SAP Business One system runs fine but you did not apply the Microsoft security fix mentioned above. However, future downloads of SAP binaries from SAP Service Marketplace might not work (depending on release, etc.)."
    If it is also affecting the installation of patches (i.e SAP runs fine, but you can't run a patch installer) the message should also indicate that so that people will know to use this fix in the future.
    Hopefully I too will have a resolved issue. I'll post the results.

  • Application servers are developed in visual c++6.0 were not starting in windows server 2008.

    Hi,
        Some application servers are developed in visual c++ 6.0 are running windows server 2003 properly.when its running in 2008R2
    these r not starting.we checked in security log just process creating and terminating with 0X2,it means file not found even not creating any application logs and not appearing in task manager,only in security log.I tried with command prompt[cmd] as administrator.its
    not giving any error.
    Anyone please help me what this starting problem issue in server 2008.any dependencies like dlls required.I tried multiple ways.

    I think you are in the wrong forum - OCI questions (as opposed to OCI) should go here:

  • Instant Client not working on Windows Server 2003

    Hi everybody,
    I have installed the Instant Client libraries on a machine running Windows Server 2003 in order to connect to a remote Oracle server. I also installed the sqlplus package. I copied them in a local directory, updated the Environment variable PATH and restarted. When I try to execute sqlplus to test if everything works fine, I get the following errors:
    sqlplus user/[email protected]:1521/orcl
    SP2-1503: Unable to initialize Oracle call interface
    SP2-0152: ORACLE may not be functioning properly
    Also, when I try to use PHP OCI8 functions like oci_connect() I get an error like:
    PHP Warning: oci_connect() [function.oci-connect]: OCIEnvNlsCreate() failed. There is something wrong with your system - please check that PATH includes the directory with Oracle Instant Client libraries
    I checked it and the PATH variable points to the instant client libraries.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance!

    I get the following errors: sqlplus user/[email protected]:1521/orcl SP2-1503: Unable to initialize Oracle call interface SP2-0152: ORACLE may not be functioning properly Also, when I try to use PHP OCI8 functions like oci_connect......Like the error suggested, the instant client libraries does not include the Network Service required by SQLPLUS.
    The connect string you are trying to use doesn't work for SQLPLUS. SQLPLUS will need proper TNS names configured.
    In another words, instanct client libraries installation is not enough to use sqlplus. Use Runtime installation or Customized installation.

  • Safari does not run at Windows Server 2003

    Any page I try to open at Safari, it just crashes (I mean, just closes) without any technical information.
    The most intersting fact is that when I go to preferences, just in the appearance tab make Safari close.
    And the most important fact is that I use Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 en-us. I NEVER was able to use Safari in any 2003 (since first Safari beta). I've tryed Safari in several of my 2003 machines (at least 4 very different ones). I got better in new versions (first Safari ones didn't even openup)
    I'v tryed so many things. Rename several folders, like safari.resources, run Microsoft Application Verifier to fool it as Windows XP, startup some services (like themes or Bonjour -- wich I use to disable), no solution at all. My sixt sense tells me that is is anything to do with some graphics rendering conflict, since it closes in the appearance and Safari have a different look from a regular Windows app window.
    Bottom line: any help ?

    The kinda answer I like: download, copy, mesh, hack. Looks very nice, must work in most cases, but not this time for me. Behavior was exactly the same, running the nightly build.
    Just for the records:
    Safari prefs in my Windows live happy in:
    C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Apple Computer\Safari
    C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple Computer\Safari
    These days I installed an Safari in a brand new 2003 and worked nice. Bug 4 x 1 Safari. Bug still winning.
    So, it must be some stuff, some little tricky service or software I install in my usual Windows.
    Anyway, thank you very much...
    If someone have some clue, I'll apreciate

  • [CS4 Server Win]: Plugin does not run on Windows Server 2003?

    Hi,
    can anybody help?
    My plugin is running on Windows XP and Windows Vista.
    On both operation systems the scripting methods are visible in ExtendScript Toolkit and can be called by javascript.
    On Windows Server 2003 my plugin is not running, the scripting methods are not visible in ExtendScript Toolkit!
    What is missing?

    > I am using Visual Studio 2008 with the VC++ 9.0 compiler.
    > Could this be a problem?
    Yes.
    CS4: use VC2005 + SP1
    CS3: use VC2005 without SP1
    CS2: use VC2003
    In my previous post I described one of the problems I found out the hard way - walking around in disassembler is a pain, even more Intel and Windows, comparing to Mac, and PowerPC. Since then I only use the official tools even if others tell it worked for them, and I keep the InDesign installations for final build and test on the earliest supported operating system.

  • Msi K9N2 Platinum SLI and Windows Server 2003 r2 32 bit edition

    Does anyone know or have tried to get this board to work on server 2003 32 bit edition. I seem to get past the raid part but the realtek 8211bl and audio are giving me fits. Any links to good drivers would be appreciated.
    Spec of system:
    Amd 9950 Quad
    4 gig memory
    Msi K9N2 Platinum SLI
    2 500 gig sata

    Ok overall solution this board works awesome with Windows Server 2003 Enterprise R2 with Sp 2.
    Here are a few tricks for the Co processor controller, Sm Bus, Audio and finally the networking controller.
    When you finally get windows loaded. Make sure you put Service Pack 2 or 3 on before u install drivers.
    The raid drivers are simple for the 32 bit version use the xp ones and load both raid drivers during setup. Requires 2 floppys or Slipstream disk.
    http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=driverfile&dno=7067&i=2
    Once you get windows loaded and Sp 2 or better on. Stick in your windows vista driver disk in. Once there do not install anything.
    Goto device manager and update drivers on all that are with the yellow ? excpet the networking drivers and just do an automatic search and boom your done. It will also ask you if you want to enable your audio at this time. Do so but do not reboot untill u finish installing all drivers but networking. Than reboot pc
    Last part is for networking card. We need you to be in safe mode for this. So once u install all drivers and start reboot hit F8 and goto safe mode. Once in safe mode take out vista driver disk and put in xp driver disk. Goto device manager and update driver on network controller and let it do an automatic search and it will installl it. It will say it needs to be rebooted to work. Go ahead and reboot and your networking card will work.
    Probably simpliar solution. But just wanted to give my help.

    Hi All,
    Our Solution Manager is in EHP1 SP21 and OS-Windows 2008 Server.
    We installed Wily Enterprise Manager 8.0. and found 1 non-fatal error in the installation log. The service is not starting.
    However it works fine for Windows 2003 Server.

    Note 1273028 - Introscope 8 Release Notes resoved this issue.
    Known problems in all Releases 8.x
    2. Windows Server 2008 is not yet officially supported by CA Wily for the Enterprise Manager. If you want to install the Enterprise Manager anyway, set the "Windows 2003 compatibility mode" for the installer before launching it. To activate this mode, right click on the installer.exe file in the Windows Explorer, select tab "Compatibility", activate the check box for compatibility mode and select Windows 2003. If you do not set this, the installer will consider your OS as Unix and install shell scripts (no suffix) instead of batch files (.bat) and leave out some files for Windows Service registration.
    If the windows service still fails to start please check if files ServiceWrapper.jar and ServiceWrapper.dll are present in folder lib. If not download them from attachment of this note.
    The service should start although giving an error message regarding the ServiceWrapper.dll. You can ignore this error.
