hello ..
how can I start and install a service on a NT machine ..
on 2k/xp its .. program.exe /i
net start servicename


but how do I do this on a NT machine?

thanks

it's the same...
but the program must support installing as a system service

yep .. Ive tried Servu .. but it wont net start ..
but on my own server ( winxp ) it does ..
with the same commands ..

It's not that... In order to install something as system service You need admin priviledges....

If You don't have it You won't be able to install Serv-U as system service....simple as that.....

and maybe there's already another serv-u running...
serv-u will only run once per machine

you must look at the error displayed if you want to know what's the problem

if you see something that shows "... : 100", it's sure that's due to another serv-u already running.. so just let it go, because it's already hacked

you can also mod youre servu.exe
so more can run at the same time

there are more than enough threads about this just do a search !

sum machines refuse to start up serv-u and irofffer (installed through firedaemon) as a service - never figured out y
2 main reasons:
1) is there another serv-u on the machine
2) is antivirus blocking it

if you can't start serv-u with 'net' command... try with file "SERVICES.EXE" or "HCT.exe"

On some servers the service database is locked. Find the app that is locking it, kill it and you can add your service.

as already said, try firedaemon or services.exe
should work fine, if not, try to kill some things. If it still isn't working, leave the server alone i don't know what to do then either

try first an old version of serv-u (like 2.5k or something)

With these old versions you can start as much as you want.... BUT not as system service (so /i doesn't work...)

I have no problems adding a service and starting it with net start command, but how do I remove a service after I have stoped it?
Do I use xnet.exe and how exactly do I do this? If I need a modded xnet.exe can you upload it for me?
Thanx in advance!

one way to let things start as service when you cant add it itself is take sc.exe and look for a running but not needed service name (windows has plenty of them but you have to know what you are doing) kill this process and replace the executable with yours (sc.exe will show you which executable belongs to which service name). killing mostly works but sometimes you just cant add a service because of missing rights. Then start your program normal and on next reboot its a system service and you gain more rights. after you got system rights just switch the executables back and add your own service to restore the only service. this way won't work on every system, depends on the userconfiguration just works if write access to registry is and therefor adding of services is disabled for you and not if you use a guest account and have no writes to stop or kill a service.
