[Windump] runing windump as a windows service

[Gianluca Varenni]

Pasquale,

sorry for the late answer.

The documentation of instsrv seems to point out that instsrv is just used to install services, not to run an application as a service, at least from what i read here

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/137890

Have you tried following the guidelines there?

Have a nice day

  Hello Gianluca, thank you  for the reply.

   

  I get the same error see below.

   

  C:\>net start npf

   

  The NetGroup Packet Filter Driver service was started successfully.

   

  C:\>net start windump

  The service is not responding to the control function.

   

  More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 2186.

   

   

  The following is how I installed the service with instsrv:

   

  C:\usr\apps\tcpdump>instsrv windump c:\windump\windump.exe -i 2 -C 100 -W 2 -n -w c:\buffer\data  -s 0 -F c:\windump\dump_filter

   

  Is it possible that it is the command line additions, is there a way to create a ini file or config file for windump?

   

  Thanks,

  Pasquale Riccio

  Can you please try this?

   

  From the command line, first run "net start npf" and then "net start windump" and let me know if it works.

   

  Have a nice day

    I am trying to set up a system with windump, I am using windows 2003 and would like to make sure that windump runs even though someone is not logged on.

     

    I am using instsrv.exe from the Windows server 2003 resource kit, windump installs as a service ok, but when I try to start it I get the following message:

     

     

    C:\usr\apps\snort>net start windump

    The service is not responding to the control function.

     

    More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 2186.

     

     

    Thank you for any help,

     

    Pasquale
