Synopsis

NT services are Win32 programs that start automatically when a server is booted and run in the background whether or not the user is logged in. Organizations need to programme NT services to support mission-critical software, boost NT performance, access certain functions of the operating system, and/or programme any Microsoft application server. Because the customer base for NT-based application servers is growing so rapidly, more and more programmers have recently become aware of a need to learn what used to be a fairly advanced specialisation Using a tutorial method, this book explains how to develop and implement NT services. Coverage includes: optimizing the event log; learning to utilize NT management functions like SNMP, MMC, the Registry and the control panel; configuration; sockets and socket clients; security and debugging issues; development frameworks using sockets; DCOM, CORBA, MSRPC and MSMQ. The text also contains implementations of complete NT services with all the leading development tools including C, C++, ATL, Visual Basic, Java and Delphi.
