Implementing Post Master Enterprise: Configure Windows Service

Envisage Software SolutionsThis post is part of the series on Implementing Post Master Enterprise for Microsoft Dynamics GP from Envisage Software.

With Post Master Enterprise installed, the next step is to configure the Windows service as Automatic (Delayed Start); this will ensure that SQL Server is running before Post Master itself starts; this does, of course, assume that Post Master is being installed on the SQL Server which is not a requirement.

Launch the Services control panel applet and open the properties for the Post Master Enterprise for Dynamics GP service.

Change the Startup Type to Automatic (Delayed Start):

General tab of Properties

Switch to the Log On tab and specify the account to run the service under; technically there is no need to change this, but I prefer to run accounts under specified accounts rather than as a local system account:

Log On tab of Properties

Click OK to save changes.
