Parallels Virtualization and Automation Software

RESOLUTION

The default Virtuozzo setting only starts the minimal set of Windows services required for the VE (Virtual Private Server) to function. It is
possible to configure which Windows services are started automatically in a new VE .

The vzsyscfg.exe utility allows you to control the set of Windows services to be started automatically in a new VE.

For example, to configure the default Windows 2003 services configuration, run this command on the Virtuozzo Host server:



After you have executed this command each new VE will have the same set of started services as a default Windows Server 2003 installation.

For example, Server and Remote Registry will be started.

To see the list of available Windows services configurations run this
command:



In general there are two following types:

Enterprise type with maximum set of standard services:



Minimal type with minimum set of services:



Services configuration will not be changed for existing VEs after you have run vzsyscfg.exe. You can configure services individually for each VE using a standard Windows tool, e.g. Computer Management, services.msc or command line tool called sc.

To configure the Server service (enables the network sharing) for automatic startup in all running VEs run the below commands (copy each line without the line breaks to execute it properly):

1. Configure Server Service for automatic startup in each VE



2. Start Server service in each VE



1 and 2 can be combined in a single batch,

e.g for Server service:



for Remote Registry:



Please, note that the internal Service name as opposed to the Display name should be used for the configuration tool ‘sc’. You can determine the internal Service name from services.msc. Double click a Service in the list and note the “Service name” property.

Note:  these actions can be applied on running VEs only.
