Hi Keith, It's pretty straightforward:
A) Download the Windows 2000 Server Resource Kit utilities. B) Locate the path to srvany.exe. C) run: instsrv Sniffer c:\path-to-resource-kit\srvany.exe "Sniffer" is just the name that will appear in the services applet later D) Start RegEedit and add the following entries to the new "Sniffer" service you just created: Add a new Parameters subkey in the following registry location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Sniffer Add new subkeys to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Sniffer\Parameters as follows: Application: REG_SZ: C:\Your.Path.to.your\sniffer-license-code.exe AppParameters: REG_SZ: sniffer-license-code.exe your-authorization-code AppDirectory: REG_SZ: C:\Your.Path.to.sniffer\ E) Start the "Service" Control Panel application, and START the service. Soon, you should see a *.Persistant.stat file in your sniffer folder. Once that appears, you are running in persistent mode. F) Change the "Service" from manual start to automatic start. Other list-members seem to have different ways to use SRVANY.exe - I followed the instructions from the Resource Kit Tool Help that I was able to find.

We push over 200K emails on 3 servers (Win2K SP4) and are still running Sniffer in the general sense. I noticed you were using SrvAny and the like, do you have any documentation you don't mind sharing on your steps to get sniffer in a persistent mode? Thanks for the aid and time. ----------------------- Keith Johnson Senior Network Engineer Network Advocates, Inc. 9001 Shelbyville Road Burhans Hall, Suite 260 Louisville, KY 40228 TEL: 502.992.5928 FAX: 502.412.1058 This E-Mail came from the Message Sniffer mailing list.
