Re: Running a CMD file as a service



Hi Wesley,

This is exactly what I need, except the MS KB articles did not state that
the solution applied to WXP. Also, while we're currently using W2K Server,
we may go to W2003 Server in the future.

Is this just a shortcoming in the KB article, and that the solution also
applies to the above operating systems?

Also, I'm a bit worried that
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;193238 states:

NOTE: The Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Resource Kit documents Srvany.exe as an
unsupported tool. Use this tool at your own risk.

Any comments on that?

Can you confirm that the Windows NT Resource kit applies to WXP and W2003?
Alternatively, will the W2003 Server resource kit (below link) also work on
WXP and W2K Server?

Thanks,
Scott
