SMS: How to Install the PCM Service Without Using RSERVICE

MORE INFORMATION

1. Create a source directory containing the following utilities from the Resource Kit:
   • Regini.exe (used to add registry entries for the service logs)
   • Ntrights.exe (used to give the service account the proper rights)
   • Instsrv.exe (used to install the service)
   • Pcmsvc32.exe (the actual service executable to be installed)
   
   
   
2. Create a batch file a file name that describes its purpose (for example, Instlpcm.bat).
3. Add the following to your batch file, replacing the name of your domain, service account, and the service account password where applicable. This batch file is written to install the PCM service from drive A and install it to drive C. You can change this to the desired location from where to run the batch file and/or where you want to install the PCM service, respectively.

      -----------------INSTLPCM.BAT------------------------------
      REM InstlPCM.bat
   
      REM Add SMS related registry entries
      a:\regini.exe a:\regfix.ini
   
      REM Add ABC_DOMAIN\PCM_SERVICE account to the workstation's
      REM Administrators local group
   
      NET localgroup administrators /add ABC_DOMAIN\PCM_SERVICE
   
      REM On the workstation, assign Logon As A Service rights to PCM_SERVICE
      REM account
      NTRIGHTS -u ABC_DOMAIN\PCM_SERVICE +r SeServiceLogonRight
   
      REM Copy PCMSVC32.EXE to the workstation
      MD c:\pcmsvc
      COPY a:\pcmsvc32.exe c:\pcmsvc
   
      REM Install the PCM Service
      a:\instsrv.exe SMS_PACKAGE_COMMAND_MANAGER_NT C:\PCMSVC\PCMSVC32.EXE -a
      ABC_DOMAIN\PCM_SERVICE -p anything
   
      REM Start the PCM Service
      NET start SMS_PACKAGE_COMMAND_MANAGER_NT
      ----------------------------end of batch file------------------------
   					

4. Create the REGINI initialization file. This is the file that REGINI reads to add the appropriate registry entries. The entries in the .ini file are shown below. These entries assume that you have installed the service to the c:\PCMSVC directory.

      \registry\machine\Software\Microsoft\SMS\Identification
                        Installation Directory = REG_SZ C:\PCMSVC
   
      \registry\machine\Software\Microsoft\SMS\TRACING
                        Enabled = REG_SZ 1
   
      \registry\machine\Software\Microsoft\SMS\TRACING
      \SMS_PACKAGE_COMMAND_MANAGER_NT
                        Enabled = REG_SZ 1
   
      \registry\machine\Software\Microsoft\SMS\TRACING
      \SMS_PACKAGE_COMMAND_MANAGER_NT
                        TraceFilename = REG_SZ C:\pcmsvc\LOGS\pacman.log
   						

   NOTE: The above registry key is one path; it has been wrapped for readability.
5. Copy the batch file and .ini file to your source directory.
6. Log on to the workstation with an account that has administrator rights and run the batch file. This will install and start the service.
