Hey does anyone know of a program that can take an executable and turn it
into a windows service... not xyntservice please... didn't work for us.

Thanks,
CJ
 
CJ,
Is this any program or one you are writing?

If its any program I suspect the others have already answered it.

If its one you are writing, you do realize that VB.NET has full support for
writing Windows Services directly. Select "Windows Service" for the Template
when you use New Project.

Hope this helps

Jay,

Yeah, it's actually a VPN client. Which we are trying to use over at a
remote location to VPN into our primary building.

However, our DC's are located at the main facility, which in order to
properly login to the domain, we would have to create the VPN connection
before logging in (which is why we were trying to start it at as a service).

After trying numerous solutions we could never get it to work yesterday...
And after talking to SonicWall they had no intentions of creating a VPN
Client service. Shame..

Oh well. We just go back to mixed mode on the SQL servers.

PEace,
CJ
 
The windows resouce kit has a utility that allows you to run an
application as a service. I used it to configure an FTP program
(Bullet Proof FTP - sorry forgot the URL), but don't count on all
applications working.

Look for these files:
instsrv.exe
srvany.exe
