Lonkero,
This is a topic that I usually avoid for a number of reasons.
Yes, I knew there were 2 registry entries that change an NT Workstation into an NT server. I believe this is discussed in great detail on both the O'Reilly & Sysinternals sites. Unfortunately, the OS constantly monitors these 2 locations & it will reverse any changes that a user tries to enter. The Sysinternals site outlines a general procedure that could allow one to mask this area from the OS & trick it into letting you change it. The Sysinternals site does not provide an actual program to do this.
These 2 registry entries fundamentally change the character of the OS. Microsoft claims that the chain of changes resulting from these registry entries affects about 500 parameters in the OS. So while in theory they are same OS, in practice NT Workstation is a severely crippled version of NT server & it can't really do all the things the server version can.
That being said, you & I were really recommending the same type of solution. MG independantly found an equivalent 3rd solution. NT has 5 or 6 methods for initiating a program during bootup & any of these would work.
LH,
Your problem can not be the same as MG, I believe his problem derived from the fact he didn't have a server while you have one. I would recommend that you should post a separate question concerning your problem.
