One thing I have found missing on the newer Windows Server version is the ability to run an application as a service, at least I haven’t found it yet…

Here is how I did this for an app called IrisServer that I wanted as a service:

Download these files from Server 2003 Resouce kid : SRVANY
Extract files in c:\reskit
Make a empty service with this command:
c:\reskit\INSTSRV.EXE “IrisServer Service” c:\reskit\SRVANY.EXE

Now open regedit…. Start > Run > Regedit
Next navigate to this registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\IrisServer Service
From the Edit menu, click Add Key and name it Parameters
Under Parameter click Edit, Add String Value and type this information.
- Value Name: Application
  - Data Type: REG_SZ

Now you can go ahead and start the new service up… right click and start

Easy and simply and if you need to delete this service again your run this command:

c:\reskit\INSTSRV.EXE “IrisServer Service” REMOVE

Hvað finnst þér?
