Running CIMCO DNC-Max Server as a Service

This document describes how to set up and run the CIMCO DNC-Max Server as a service. DNC-Max supports running the server module as a service on Windows NT4, Windows 2000, Windows XP or newer and Windows Server 2003 or newer.

A service is a background process that can run when there are no interactively logged-on users.

The main advantages of running DNC-Max as a service are:

• No user needs to be logged in

The service can run without any users logged on to the computer, and the service is automatically started when the computer is started.

• Regular users cannot access the server

Regular users (without administrator privileges) cannot start or stop the DNC-Server.

Regular users can still shutdown the computer!

• The server can use a privileged login

The service can use a network logon that is different from the user currently logged on to computer. This allows the server to access network files that are not available to regular users.
