I used to have iSpy.exe (camera monitoring) running on a Windows Server 2012R2 as a service (converted using sc). Worked very nice. Now I have installed Windows Server 2016 and I cannot get the service to start. Anyone an idea why?
As you know, Windows Server 2016 is still at preview stage therefore not everything can be guaranteed to work yet. Also, do iSpy developers claim to support 2016?
They do not support running as a service at all. But it did on the previous version of Windows Server. As far as I know this is the RTM build of Windows Server 2016, as rolled out to OEM's: 14393.10.
yeah rtm like above released so it is official for us on mdl and oem partners that received if latest version of ispy.exe can you do it in compatibility mode when you create a shortcut to the program like previous programs that needed legacy mode for previous OS's
If running in compatibility-mode (Windows 8), the service does start. But iSpy isn't recording a movie after motion detection. It does record when running the program on the desktop. Edit: In the Taskmanager details tab I can see iSpy.exe coming on and off continuously.
I managed to get iSpy running on startup through a task in the Taskscheduler, without being logged in. So my goal is reached: iSpy records movies upon motion detection.
