Notes for the first beta of AutoExNT service.
=================================================

The AutoExNT service allows you to start a batch file, named Autoexnt.bat, at boot time 
without the need to log on that system.


FILES.
========
This Zip file contains 4 files:
README.TXT	- this Readme
INSTSRV.EXE	- Use this to install the service.
AUTOEXNT.EXE	- The AutoExNT service-routine.    Copy this in your <NTroot>/system32 directory.
SERVMESS.DLL	- The AutoExNT message dll.	   Copy this in your <NTroot>/system32 directory.

Usage:
========
- First copy the AUTOEXNT.EXE and the SERVMESS.DLL in the <NTroot>/system32 directory.
- Now create an autoexnt.bat file with the needed commands and copy this one also
	in the <NTroot>/system32 directory. 
	Don't forget that there are no user-environment-variables at boot time. 
	So use full pathnames etc.


- type on a commandprompt: 
	INSTSRV AutoExNT
  When everything is fine, the applet responses:
        >> CreateService AutoTimeSet SUCCESS


To test the service. 
========================
Log in as an administrator and enter the following command:

	net start autotimeset

Your see a new Commandbox running the autoexnt.bat file.


To install for autostart at boottime:
======================================
-  Goto controlpanel-Services.
-  Select AutoTimeSet
-  Select Startup
-  Select Startup Type: Automatic
-  When you need rights outside your local system (for example to perform a NET USE command)
	Select "Logon As: This Account"
	specify an account which has administrator privileges on your domain/system,
	and give/confirm his password.
-  Select OK.

Your AutoExNT service is now installed.
