EngineServer as service

in SRP Engine Server
How do you configure the engineserver to run without a specific user profile, like a service for example?
We want the engineserver running whilstever the server is up and running without the need for a specific user profile to be logged in.
I'd imagine this is pretty standard but I've never done it.

    The SRP Engine Server does not have the ability to run as a service in and of itself. It is a desktop app at its core. However, we have clients who use the Task Scheduler to launch it with the appropriate triggers. This should get you close to what you are trying to achieve.

    Thanks. And what about utilising NSSM to behave like a service?
    I have zero experience with this as well other than some vague recollection of it being mentioned in a similar vein some time ago. I don't remember if it was for this or something else.

    We've used that, or something like it, to launch actual OpenInsight sessions before. Therefore, it can work. However, as I recall, since it launches as a service without a desktop login, there is some odd behavior due to OI being invisible. I cannot recall if it affected underlying behavior or our code or just the interaction with the app itself. YMMV!
