Setting a Server Configuration to Run as a Microsoft Windows Service

Note: If a server configuration is newly-created, you must start it once, shut it down, and then set it to run as a service.

Open the Server Administration tool and select the server configuration.

Note: You must access the Server Administration tool on the computer where the StarTeam Server is installed.
If the server configuration is running, click (Shut Down Server).

Note: A configuration cannot be set to run as a Microsoft Windows service if the server includes a remote hive using a mapped drive.
Click (Set to Run As Service).
The Log On Service As dialog box opens.
Check Local System account to use the local system account, or to use a specific user account, do the following:
1. Clear the Local System account check box.
2. Type an account name. The usual format is DomainName\UserName. If the account belongs to a built-in domain, you can use .\UserName.

The next time you start the server configuration or restart your computer, the server configuration runs as a Microsoft Windows service.

To determine whether a server configuration is running as a Windows service, locate the server name in the left panel of the Server Administration tool. Beside the name, an icon indicates whether the server is enabled and/or running as a service.

If you want to discontinue running a server configuration as a service, you must first stop the server configuration, and then remove the service using the Server Administration tool.
