Resource kit for 2008

Hi,

Is there a Resource Kit for Windows 2008? I run SBS 2008 and need to add a
service. The only what I know how to do this is with SRVANY.exe. Is it
fine to simply install the 2003 kit?

TIA,

Jarryd

Hi Jarryd,

I could only find this...

srvany.exe does not exist on w2k8 R2: how do I configure a windows Service
with sc.exe
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/...-318b06e0a837/


Possible workaround...

Application as a Service "srvany.exe" in Windows Server 2008

------------------------------------------------------------
1.At the time of this posting, there is no Windows Server 2008 Resource Kit
Tools, so get the "srvany.exe " from the "Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit
Tools " and copy it to a suitable location on your Win2008 server (e.g.
C:\Windows\System32\ ).
2.Use "sc " to create a new service that launches "srvany " (e.g. sc create
MyService binPath= C:\Windows\System32\srvany.exe DisplayName= "My Custom
Service" )
3.Using RegEdit : create a "Parameters " key for your service (e.g.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\MyService\Paramaters\ )
4.Using RegEdit : within the newly created "Parameters " key , create a
string value called "Application " and enter the full path to the
application you are wanting to run as a service. (No quotes required.)

Note : some applications store their settings in a user hive, not under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, so you will need to run the application to configure it,
and then configure the service to run as that user.
