Minimserver multiple instances on windows 10 - kingdarius01 - 10-02-2021 20:07
I am looking to run multiple instances of minimserver on a windows machine. The idea is to have multiple copies of minimserver for libraries under separate server names. Can anyone help me please? I don’t seem to know where to begin.

The best way to do this is to create a separate username for each server instance. It is simplest if no more than one of the users is an administrator. In this case, each user will have their own independent installation with separate configuration settings.

Thanks for the prompt response. I have another question, Do I Create different usernames for windows logins and install minimserver on each one of them? If so will all the server instances be available a the same time ?

Yes, one username for each instance. Use "switch user" to login to another user while leaving the current user logged in. This enables all instances to be available at the same time.
