Which type of application for administrating Windows Service?


Hi,

I am creating a windows service which host a remote object that can be
connected by other application
(desktop applications and asp.net)

and I wonder which type of UI window application is best for administrating
the service
(running on windows 2000 and windows 2003)

should I create a control panel application
,simple windows application
or is there any specific application type for administrating widows service
Thanks in advance

Julia,

I think that in this case, the best solution is to create a Microsoft
Management Console plug in. Jim Murphy has done some of the interop
required to make it easier. Check out his MMC Snapin Framework, located at

Julia,

Sorry about that, the project is on source forge, and can be found at
(watch for line wrap):

Hope this helps.

Just one opinion, but I would create wse web service apis on the server.
Then create console, web, or gui clients that call those web service
methods. How you actually create the gui as far as windows, buttons, etc is
probably more directed by your requirements and needs.

To be honest have not played yet with events in WSE, however I think you do
them. You can also subscribe to a callback IIRC so the service calls your
clients web service kinda like a delegate. Others please correct or revise.

Hi everybody, already googled and RTFM'ed some IBM documents, but still I'm a bit puzzled on how to manage Joe Sixpack's DB2 client configuration. For example, the databases on (Windows) servers BOX1 and BOX2 are relocated to (Windows) BIGBOX3. A few hundred people (also Windows) have to change their client configuration, most of them have no local admin priviledges. The DNS-guys are unwilling to create DNS-aliases.
