Resource kit for 2008
|
From: Jarryd on 8 Jul 2010 04:45 Hi, Is there a Resource Kit for Windows 2008? I run SBS 2008 and need to add a service. The only what I know how to do this is with SRVANY.exe. Is it fine to simply install the 2003 kit? TIA, Jarryd

Application as a Service "srvany.exe" in Windows Server 2008 http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserverMigration/thread/98a97aee-c62b-4683-94ab-3777899cf7de ------------------------------------------------------------ 1.At the time of this posting, there is no Windows Server 2008 Resource Kit Tools, so get the "srvany.exe " from the "Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools " and copy it to a suitable location on your Win2008 server (e.g. C:\Windows\System32\ ). 2.Use "sc " to create a new service that launches "srvany " (e.g. sc create MyService binPath= C:\Windows\System32\srvany.exe DisplayName= "My Custom Service" ) 3.Using RegEdit : create a "Parameters " key for your service (e.g. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MyService\Paramaters\ ) 4.Using RegEdit : within the newly created "Parameters " key , create a string value called "Application " and enter the full path to the application you are wanting to run as a service. (No quotes required.) Note : some applications store their settings in a user hive, not under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, so you will need to run the application to configure it, and then configure the service to run as that user. -------------------------------------------------------------- -- Merv Porter [SBS-MVP] ============================ "Jarryd" <jarryd(a)nodomain.com> wrote in message news:uo5mlnnHLHA.5700(a)TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... > Hi, > > Is there a Resource Kit for Windows 2008?
