Hi Tomasz,
Can you tell me what you mean by "something easier [than srvany]"? Also
why you want to replace it - srvany seems pretty simple, and the wpkg
howtos seem to Just Work. But if you're trying to replace it, I'm
curious and wonder if I should consider it also.
currently, I was using srvany with windows 2000.
It has several drawbacks:
- you have to install new files (srvany, instsrv)
- you have to "register" a service, just to execute a script once
- it is hard to change it, once it's registered
- it is not that clear with whose credentials / permissions is that
executed (at least for me - I have a rather *NIX background, where the
whole administration seems just so much easier than in Windows)
- you don't have additional benefits, like starting things other than
WPKG easily
As now I'm deploying XP SP2s, I decided not to use srvany; scheduled
task job seem to be a tool for it:
- easy install with just one command - I didn't check the syntax yet,
but it'll look something like that:
schtasks /add WPKG /exec \\path\to\script.bat /user DOM\admin /pass secret
And then just add "cscript \\path\to\wpkg.js" in this "script.bat", and
that's it.
And I can add other things (scripts) to script.bat, too, which wasn't
possible with srvany.
