AutoTx Service Installation

The AutoTx service doesn't have a conventional installer but rather has to be registered using the InstallUtil.exe tool coming with the .NET framework.

Using The Installation Script

A PowerShell script to help with the installation is provided with each AutoTx package. To use the script, follow these steps:

  • Log on to the computer using an account with adminstrative privileges.
  • Edit the ScriptsConfig.ps1 settings file, adjust the values according to your setup.
  • Open a PowerShell console using the Run as Administrator option. The script Run-ElevatedPowerShell.ps1 can be used to start a shell with elevated permissions.
  • Navigate to the installation package directory, run the Install-Service.ps1 script.
  • Supply the two required configuration files in the conf/ subdirectory of the service installation location and start the service using Start-Service AutoTx.

Manual Installation Instructions

PLEASE NOTE: these instructions are mostly for documentation purposes, by default it is strongly recommended to use the installation script described above.

Register the service

Open a PowerShell console with elevated privileges ("Run as Administrator"). Launch InstallUtil as follows:

& "C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\InstallUtil.exe" /username=<SERVICEACCOUNT> /password=<SERVICEPASS> /unattended C:\Tools\AutoTx\AutoTx.exe

Add the service account to group "Performance Monitor Users"

Monitoring the CPU load requires the service account to be a member of this group. If this is not done via ActiveDirectory GPO's, you can do it for the local system by running this command:

Add-LocalGroupMember -Group "Performance Monitor Users" -Member <SERVICEACCOUNT>

Service Startup

Start-Service AutoTx
