Paul The default was 1 just like many of the other defaults you must change them to use the server in real life.
When you run sambar as a service yes use the watcher and also use the service manager just in case. If you want the GUI in the try then run NTview.exe out of the bin, its a service GUI. The only draw back is it does not have pause and it must be started after the service.
