create new service server 2003

To create a new service in server 2003 or xp you use the sc.exe tool.

REMEMBER TO ADD A SPACE AFTER EVERY EQUAL SIGN!!!! THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!

sc create "my service" binPath= "c:\myfile.exe" type= "own" start= "auto" DisplayName= "my service" error= "normal"

1	sc create "my service" binPath= "c:\myfile.exe" type= "own" start= "auto" DisplayName= "my service" error= "normal"

Obviously replace “my service” with whatever you want to call the service and “myfile.exe” with the file you’d like to make a service.

Need to start the plug and play service in server 2003?

sc config PlugPlay start= auto

1 2	sc config PlugPlay start= auto net start "PlugPlay"

In this case my error looked something like:

"The Tomcat6 service was unable to log on..."
This service account does not have the necessary user right "Log on as a service."

1 2	"The Tomcat6 service was unable to log on..." This service account does not have the necessary user right "Log on as a service."

Because I was running Tomcat6 on an active directory domain controller (windows server 2003) I was unable to grant “Log on as a service” rights.

The FIX:

Run the service as “NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService” (no quotes) with a blank password.
