Goldsync Service

[Darrenb]

Hi,

I have the Goldsync service running fine. What I would like to know is, is it possible to have the service load before windows 2000 asks you to log into the server? Reason being, people can still synch if the server has been restarted and not logged in.

Any help would be great

Thanks
Darren

I believe that if the service is set to auto start then it does start without having to login to the server, as it starts the services in the back ground.

Thanks for the reply Rob.

I too thought that was the case, however, the service is set to Automatic already, and so are the Goldsyncs dependencies (SQLSERVERAGENT and MSSQLSERVER).

Does it have anything to do with the Log On settings for each service? They are all set to 'Local System Account', should I be specifying an account myself, or does this make no difference?

Regards
Darren

Try using Firedaemon has solved so many of my sync headaches for clients

beyond FireDaemon (great tool, by the way!) you might double-check your GoldMine settings.. What's the shortcut to your GoldMine set to? Is it a mapped drive? Is the SYSDIR explicitly set to a mapped drive path in the GM.INI in root of the GM folder? If so, that would explain the behavior -- if you havent logged into windows, the drives aren't mapped yet (unless you include a net use statement in your autoexec or something...)

It will also depend what build of GoldMine you have! The early build after the GoldSync service was added you still had to login to the machine even though it was a service We just it to painful to deal with and use FireDaemon.

Thanks for all the replies peeps!

I shall look into FireDaemon.

GoldMine is installed locally on the server, so there are no drive mapping issues.

I'm using GoldMine 6.7.
