Hostmonitor from running as application to running as servic

Post by Gavin »

Hello,

I've currently got all my template tests setup, we're purchasing our enterprise upgrade today and I am ready to start mass deploying tests. At the moment I am running Hostmonitor as an application manually on the server it will be installed on, but I now want to make it run as a service. What is the quickest way to do this while keeping all tests intact? (Currently Server 2008 R2 x64)

Thanks in advance!

1. Stop HostMonitor application.
2. Start HostMonitor with /InstallService parameter:
hostmon.exe /InstallService
3. Provide local admin account, or better, BUILT-IN administrator account.

Note 1: on Windows 2008R2 HostMonitor (or any other Windows Service) cannot interact with user session. That's why you need to use Remote Control Console (RCC) to manage HostMonitor.
Note 2: RCC requires RCI interface to be enabled (menu Options -> RCI)

Please check for details at:
