Running VMWare Server as a service

I found this posting concerning this matter. A service in Windows is a application that loads up before any user logs in.


I cannot find instructions on how to run Server as a service. any pointers?You don't run Server as a service. Well, I guess actually it already IS.You configure individual guests to run as a service. Edit VM settings-->Options Tab-->Startup & Shutdown list item. In top section, specify either System, or a specific user account (and password) to run the guest as. In the bottom section, specify what action you want this guest to take on host powerup and shutdown.>Is there no way to run WS as a service? Not built into the product. You can hack it using NTSRV or SRVAny. But it's not a clean/complete way.
