I am researching ways to auto login to a windows server, so applications can be restarted on reboot if the server crashes. Do windows services load before or after a user logs in? Can a windows service be used to login to an account? If not, is there any way to use some sort of login script to facilitate automatically loggin in? Services run regardless of whether a user logs on. If you need an application to run all the time, have you considered converting it to a service? Auto-logon is a security risk. For auto login. Here is one of them: To use Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe) to turn on

I am using PowerShell 1.0 on Windows Server 2003 x64. When executing the following statement, there is error below. Not every time this error occurs, and if this error occurs and I execute this command again, there is no error again! It is so weird. Any ideas what is wrong?

I installed postgreSQL binaries in windows 7 32bit operating system; I can start the server from cmd but I cant run it as a windows service.

I cannot do this because postgreSQL is not running as a windows service. I found

I'm working on a Windows Service that one of its tasks is archiving files on remote machine but I've a problem regarding access privileges in case of Workgroup. The simplest way is to mirror the username and password on both machines, creating the same account on both machines, then run your service under that account. As you're in a workgroup and not a domain the remote login will work, but once you're in a domain that no longer works. You cannot use any of the built in service accounts (Network Service, Local Service, Local System for this) You can run it under user account that has access

I currently have a Windows Service which continually runs throughout the day. It has multiple threads which kick off: tasks daily to update cache tasks weekly to do cleanup 24/7 task to import XML into SQL Server tasks which run for around 12 hours per day kicking off a console application to manage ETL The tasks are not the important part of this question but it gives you the idea that this Windows service has grown to be a monster. It manages the imports of somewhere in the region of 300 million records per day. It is hectic, but it works. This iteration of development is giving me a chance
