Like I showed in my original response to this thread, everything is defined
on a single line: path, executable file, License ID, authentication code,
and "persistence":

Hi
Matt:
based
on the experiences presented here (including yours), it appears that SrvAny.exe
actually tolerates the following:

arguments or handle special characters??? I've found some different
requirements for command line arguments and special characters such as

Yes, I too suspect that SRVANY actually allows the specifying of the entire
command line in the "Appliation" string, even though both the Knowledgebase
article and the full documentation implies otherwise. (The KB article and

When the persistent Sniffer was first offered, I typed up the attached
directions that I cribbed from the KB when alerted to it by Bill. I am

Actually, the discussion with Win 2000 Resource Kit tool "SrvAny" is not
about it NOT working, but rather about how to set it up. There are two
opposing pieces of Microsoft documentation: a very simplistic knowledgebase
entry, and the "full" documentation in the 'Tools' help.

Looks like both work. If you examine the difference you'll probably see why.
One (just with the Application setting specifies all of the parameters in
the SZ string.
The other specifies the .exe in the App string and the Auth Code and
"persistent" parameter in the parameters string.
I'm also guess

Hi Bill,
Thanks. That's curious. I'm not at all doubting your experiences - I'm just
trying to reconcile the KB article (which says to ONLY define the path,
program name and extension) with the Sniffer documentation (which says, you
must define the "persistent" option and your authorization code).
Andy, these simplified instructions work just fine with Sniffer, as I can
certainly attest.

These simplified instructions only apply if the application needs no

Hi Keith,
It's pretty straightforward:
A) Download the Windows 2000 Server Resource Kit utilities.
B) Locate the path to srvany.exe.
C) run:
instsrv Sniffer c:\path-to-resource-kit\srvany.exe
"Sniffer" is just the name that will appear in the services applet later

Hm, well the Windows 2000 Resource Kit "Tools" help has the chapter "Running

That can be misleading. The "Sniffer" service shows running, because
srvany.exe is executing! (Check your task manager, you'll see an instance
of srvany.exe - that's why it shows running.).

LicenseID.persistent.stat fine on both of my IMail/Declude/Sniffer servers
and it is periodically updated (cat or type the file and you will see that
the data it contains updates every second, I believe).

No, nothing was typed into the Services window. The Sniffer service was
installed using the SrvAny W2K ResKit guidelines and the service starts
automatically when the server is rebooted.
