Chris, It is referring to the OS account. In the case when you are running the Domino server as a service under the system account, use an OS account that has authority to read and write files to the Domino data directory. Normally having "Admin" authority is plenty but there are so many ways to configure Windows NT... Let me know if you need more clarification.

Page 6 of the TDP 1.1 for Lotus Domino Installation and User Guide says: "TDP for Lotus Domino must run from the same system user ID the Domino server is running under." Are we talking Notes ID or OS account? The Domino server is running as a service (ie running as System) as would be the TSM services. But of course if I logon with my NT account and run up the TDP GUI or use TDP command line then by definition I'm using a different account. Clarification regarding this broad sweeping statement in the manual that has no follow up detail anywhere I can find would be appreciated. Chris McMahon
