As part of the install the Navigator_nxServer will be installed as a Windows service.
The server can be installed manually if required at a later date. For this you need to be logged in as administrator and type
Install service
Navigator_nxServer /install
Uninstall service
Navigator_nxServer /uninstall
When installing the server it will prompt you for a user account and password the server should run as. This is expected in the format DomainName\AccountName. Domain Name can be "." for the local domain. Please note the selected account must have the "logon as service" rights. You can assign these to a user account with the Microsoft® policy editor. To do this in Win XP, go to the Start menu then select Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Local Security Policy. The policy editor will start. In the tree view select Local Policies/User Rights Assignment. On the right hand panel look for "Logon As Service" and double click it. Press "Add User or Group" and add the wanted Account Name to the list of allowed accounts.
The service will be installed as Automatic; this means it will be started on any subsequent machine boot. Once the service is installed the application prompts if the service should be started immediately.
