Installation Guide
The following steps cover how to install EMSRV as a Windows NT/2000
service. See Troubleshooting EMSRV as a Windows NT/2000 service for a listing of common problems and solutions when
running EMSRV as a Windows NT/2000 service.
- Enter emsrv -install <parameters>. The optional
<parameters> are EMSRV parameters such as -u <user
name>, -p <password>, and so on. (For a list of
available parameters, see EMSRV Startup options.) These parameters are fixed and will be used every
time EMSRV is started as a service.
Ensure that -install is the first parameter. This
installs EMSRV as a service in the registry and copies the necessary DLLs to
the system directory. If there is an older version of EMSRV already
installed, it removes the older version and installs the new version.
- Start EMSRV as a service by using one of the following methods:
- Starting EMSRV as a service using the Service control panel
- Open the Control Panel and double-click the Services control
panel.
- Note:
- On Windows 2000, you access the Services control panel via the
Administrative Tools icon within the Control Panel.
- Select the EMSRV Service in the Services control panel.
- Select HW Profiles and verify that a configuration is
enabled. Enable one if necessary.
- Select Start and EMSRV will start as a service.
(Selecting Stop will stop the service and close all
connections.)
- Starting EMSRV as a service using the Service Controller utility
sc.exe
- Enter sc start EMSRV -u <user name> -p <password> at a
DOS command prompt.
- Query the service status by entering sc query EMSRV.
To stop the service, enter sc stop EMSRV.
- Note:
- sc.exe is available with the Windows NT/2000 Resource
Kit.
- Starting EMSRV automatically at Windows NT/2000 startup:
- Go to the Services control panel.
- Select EMSRV and press the Startup button.
- Select Automatic for the startup type.
To remove the EMSRV Service from the registry, enter EMSRV
-remove at a DOS command prompt. Alternatively, you can remove it
by entering sc delete EMSRV.
The -remove option will stop the service if it is running as
well as delete it from the registry.
