Howdy everyone.. long time, no post.

Listen, Ive got an issue with this program that I need to have run upon server startup. The problem is, it bombs out when I try creating a service that points to this program, but works without a hitch when I start it at the command prompt.

Any suggestions on how I can ensure this program starts up upon every reboot, without using services?

Thanks in advance!!

Make a batch script that contains the commands that you use when you start it from the command prompt.

Then using either local policy or domain policy, set it as a computer startup script.

Can I still do this if I want to script to run on the actual domain controller? (Sorry, not very familiar with windows policies yet...)

yeah.. you will just have to create a domain policy and use security filtering to to apply it to just the DC.
