I have an application that was converted from a VB application to a
windows service.
I pass in parameters in a file that tells the application where to pull
a file from & read it and put it into a web page.
The application works fine when the input & output locations are local
on the server the app is on. However, the location for one of the files
is going to change to be on another server, that'll have to be set up
like \\Server2\folde r
I can copy that out & put it in windows explorer, and it goes to the
folder it's supposed to.
However, when I put it in the application, it won't read it in.
The application is started as a Windows service, is enabled, and starts
& ends fine. I set the Log On account to be one that has local
administrator rights on the application server (Server1), and also has
local administrator rights on the data source (Server2).
How do you give a Windows Service (ie \\Server1\Myser vice)
read/write/delete permissions in a folder on another server (i.e.
\\Server2\Mydat a)?
If I copy the file over to the local app server (Server1), into a local
folder, the application will run fine. However, that's an extra step I
don't really want to add to running this job each day.
Any help appreciated

What do you mean when you say "it won't read it in"? Are you getting
an exception? An error message? Incorrect data result?
Right now, I have it set to put out info into the event log, each time
it checks for the file. If it's local, I'll see events out there, no
problem.
If I specify \\Server2\folde r as it's input, versus
[Server1]D:\DailyInput, it just sits there - nothing at all written into
the event log. It appears not to run, unless the source for it is local.

Are you using exception handling in your code? Are you swallowing the
exceptions if any are generated?
Chris
The program was swallowing the exceptions. It had a configuration file
with it (XML) that provided the source & destination folders - the
problem was leaving a slash off one of those configuration lines. That,
and having it log in as a local service. Once I changed it to an
account that had administrator rights on BOTH servers, and corrected the
syntax error on the config file, it ran fine this morning.
Thanks for the help.

When to use a privileged user thread rather than a windows service?
That's the question raised in a previous post . It was suggested that if the service needs to interact
with a WinForms app (which is the UI used to adjust the actions taken by,
and the schedule of the service), then a privileged user thread should be
used in the UI - no service required.

I have a VB6 program that runs as an app, that I want to both convert it
to vb.net, and run it as a service on the server.
I have been able to create the service, and what I did was to open the
vb6 document and convert it into a vb.net program. Once I did that, the
routine "check_for_file" I yanked out & put into my service program.
The program though - doesn't work like the existing VB6 one does.

What would be a good way to check programmatically whether a service was
running?
We have a service that dies periodically and I need to check to see if this
service is running. I know how to check to see if the status is in stopped
or running mode. But that doesn't tell me if it is actually running.
I need to know this so that if it happens I can programmatically start the
same service on another machine.

I'm really starting to hate writing services -- or trying to, anyway.
Why do I need to rename my project to the service name?
Why do I need to set the "ServiceName" property to my service name?
Why do I need to set a property within my code to the service name?
Are all these required or am I just doing this for consistency purposes?
