At our office we have WD running on a Windows 2003 Server. The instrument package is a Wireless Davis ISS (Integrated Sensor Stuff) sending to a Davis Weather Envoy with a Datalogger.
If I set the server function in WD and then click the “Run as an NT service” option, will WD continue to record data when I log-off the server? Will it automatically start if the server re-boots?
Can I set up a second copy of WD as a client on the LAN and have it access the service running on the server and change configuration settings, etc?
I know I can play around for a few days and get to the bottom of this, but I was hoping someone might have already tried it and be in a position to spare me needless trial and error.
I’m not sure about the service question…I had a feeling that Brian had said it was intended for NT/W2K and that it didn’t work on more recent versions of Windows, e.g. XP and W2K3.
Thank you very much, Julian. I am familiar with srvany and have heard of Firedaemon. Will try those avenues next. Thanks again.
Has anyone had any experience with the second part of my question? To repeat: can a WD program running as a client in client/server mode be configured in such a way that it can change any of the settings/options on the server version of WD?
