問題 IM an Expert monitor - automation

    Hi

    While the guide explains how to enable the bot to run as a service, to allow for server reboots, etc, there is no mention of doing this for the monitor.  Everything else starts up properly after a reboot and I would like to be able to do the same with the monitor.  Is anyone running it as a service too ?  Or using some other method to start the monitor after a reboot without needing to have someone sign into the server and leave it running in a window ?

    Thanks

    In the simplest of terms, I'd like to know how people are starting monitor.exe without needing to log onto the server first.

    Thanks

    I think you have posted on the wrong forum. still if you want to run a process in the windows or run a tool without logging to windows you can run the logon scripts to do this.

    Thanks but I think that this is the correct forum.  I'm referring to how, in particular, the monitor.exe software runs, as, for example and mentioned in the first post, a service (which would be my preferred option).

    Also, I'm not sure how logon scripts would run if no account is actually logging on.

    Thanks for your reply.

    Hi,

    This is a lync forum and i think you are talking windows monitor as Microsoft lync does not have any services named monitor.exe. if you can explain your first post a bit more regarding bot and reboot and which guide you are refering to then there might be a help for you.

    The answer's in the title - 'IM an Expert monitor - automation' - ;-)

    monitor.exe is used to monitor the health of the (Lync) IM an Expert components.

    Thanks

    The Monitor can be run from the command line, but a separate account must be created and it should be run on a separate server to the Bot so that it can Monitor it effectively.

    To run the Monitor, start %INSTALLDIR%\bin\monitor\Monitor.exe. The Monitor logs are written to the location specified by MonitorLogFilePath in the imx.config file.
