RE: [sniffer] Your Sniffer Setup

Title: Message

Hi Matt:   based on the experiences presented here (including yours), it appears that SrvAny.exe actually tolerates the following:       "Application"="C:\\IMail\\Declude\\Sniffer\\MyExecutableName.exe MyIDNumber persistent" even though the documentation for SrvAny and a knowledgebase entry imply that you can only define:       "Application"="C:\\IMail\\Declude\\Sniffer\\MyExecutableName.exe" Since it's working for you, there probably is little reason to change (unless you try to "comply" with the documented method.)   >> When the persistent Sniffer was first offered, <<   Yep, it worked for me too initially - until I installed the latest release (I never participated in the beta).  Even though there was no error message, the sniffer executable was unable to find its working directory (at least on my machine) and need the explicit registry option set that defines the application working directory.   However, others have reported that they did NOT have to add the explicit working directory path after upgrading to the latest version.

When the persistent Sniffer was first offered, I typed up the attached directions that I cribbed from the KB when alerted to it by Bill.  I am forwarding this as a message attachment since the archives are down currently. I haven't yet upgraded to the latest version, but at least on previous versions it has been running fine.  I'm still waiting to figure out what the issues might be relating to this thread. An export of my registry relating to the Sniffer service is as follows: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Sniffer] "Type"=dword:00000010 "Start"=dword:00000002 "ErrorControl"=dword:00000001 "ImagePath"=(removed: hex encoded path to srvany.exe) "DisplayName"="Sniffer" "ObjectName"="LocalSystem" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Sniffer\Parameters] "Application"="C:\\IMail\\Declude\\Sniffer\\MyExecutableName.exe MyIDNumber persistent" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Sniffer\Security] "Security"=(removed: hex encoded value) [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Sniffer\Enum] "0"="Root\\LEGACY_SNIFFER\\0000" "Count"=dword:00000001 "NextInstance"=dword:00000001 Sorry to keep this going, but I would like to figure out what the best practices would be, and also help Andy and/or others figure out the same.
