Yes you can run just about any app as a service... You can use the Windows 2000 Reskit Util Srvinstw.exe: Service Installation Wizard

Paul, That is a very cool idea We have the ability to bring everyone up to Outlook 2K or the script idea would be even cooler I will have to look into this further. Joshua, Are you saying I could create a service to run these?? I am not sure I understand. Did you mean to say "Why NOT call the apps you want to run with a service" Pardon my lack of experience but I would even know where to begin. This would be very helpful with my distiller. -----Original Message----- From: Morgan, Joshua [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, June 07, 2002 8:45 AM To: NT 2000 Discussions Subject: RE: So easy I hate to ask but will Just a question.... Why call to the apps you want to run with a Service?

I also have no problem editing the registry my only concern with Q310584 is that the password is kept in plain text, not a real big deal because I am sure I can protect the key. This server is 2k but I have many NT servers so I should be able to pull up the Autolog.exe. Or maybe I will do the registry Hack (sorry to use Hack it just sounds cooler then modify). By the way I have "hacked" the registry with ill effects but I didn't know what I was doing as is usually the case. I will never be accused of being holier than thou. Alex, With the TSWEB I can just select shutdown from the start menu but as with the shutdown command it will not log me back in. I can log in and start the apps but when I log of the apps close. MS really does need to create a way for apps to be running wile it is not logged in I have the same problem on an NT 4 machine that is running a distiller. This server is almost never shutdown though. I hope we can all still be friends :) -----Original Message----- From: Todd C.

Any admin worth his/her salt knows how to "play" with the registry, and has no problem with it. And I agree with almost every statement you make. But why do something when you don't have to? To make my car run better, I *could* tear down the engine every 5,000 miles, but I prefer to just change the oil... (Now let's just smile, shack e-hands, and move on, shall we??) :-) :^) :-D Justin - AUTOLOG is on the NT4 Server Resource Kit CD; I don't think you ever mentioned what OS you are actually working on? I know it works on any NT4/2000 machine though. And since I didn't HACK THE REGISTRY (<G>) when I used it, I don't know how it stores the info. I can send it to you privately if you'd like; a search on MS-KB for AUTOLOG will probably tell you as much as I can, too. Todd C.
