The Directory Server for Windows runs as an Windows service. If used, the
Windows Directory Server will start at boot time by default. However configuration
and operational control is available via the Windows Directory Server command line
program xtsdssvc.
The xtsdssvc program can be used to perform
the following tasks:
Register the Directory Server as a Windows service.
Unregister the Directory Server service and remove the recorded startup parameters.
Start the service.
Stop the service.
Obtain a status of the service.
Set the Directory Server parameters.
Note the Windows Services control panel applet can be used to start and stop the service as well. The Directory Server Windows service name is "Software AG Directory Server".
