Running application as a service

[Guest]

Got a question ....If I use "srvany" to run an application as a service, and
the server reboots on a maintenance schedule, when the server restarts does
the application start when Windows starts or when an admin logs into the
server? If it starts with an admin logon, is it possible to configure it to
start when Windows starts?

Thanks

Just execute services.msc and make sure the service you create runs "automatic". When you
do, it will run as soon as the OS is completed the boot process and will be running when the
system requires a Logon.

Ok, I was confused, I guess, as I was thinking since it required a user
account to run that it would therefore require a logon to start. That's good
if it runs as soon as windows boots, then.

Thanks

Go back into services.msc and choose your NT Service.
Click on the "Logon" tab and supply the created NT Service the needed Account and Password.
