Running EA on a Server can be very helpful for Integration or Build Server Purposes.

In an older Blog Post we documented how to do it for Windows 2003 Server - this way doesn't work any more.

In Windows Server 2008R2 Microsoft introduced Session-0 security – easy explanation: so it becomes much harder for interactive service to run as Local System and interact with users.

If you want to run EA (an interactive app) as an unattended Windows Service (as an interactive service) you have to do some strange steps to achieve it. Follow the Version 1.0 of the attached whitepaper to make it happen again

Hi Daniel, and thank you for your whitepaper about running EA as a Windows Service on Windows Server 2008R2 and higher... it gave us lights about how to make it (we definitely need EA running as a service), but unfortunately we have been unable to make the service to run without a session running on Windows. Is there a way you can hep us with your knowledge and experience on the subject for us to achieve the goal to make EA run as an unattended service on Win 2008 R2? Thank you very much!
