See if the server will strt as an application.  If the server will start as an application, but will not start as a service, then the issue is usually wth the domino Server Controller configuration.

If you do use server -jc -c (aka Domino starts as Java controller mode -> add <TCPIP>_TcpipControlerAddress=...... to add the IP address for port 2050.

If you do not user Domino controller, check was is starting in servertasks=.... in your Domino ini file and also check in windows service information which account you do use to start Domino (LocalSystem or other) if you use a domain account, check password and account rights, if using local account (not local system), check if it is ok and the password was not changed

This server runs on a VM and I'm willing to bet the storage array hadn't come back on line when the server attempted to start.

I'll see if I can find and review the logs also to see if anything else is going on.

Thank you all for the ideas and suggestions.

Are you running Domino as a Service, with automatic start?

Have you checked the task manager to see if NServer is running?
