Windows NT considerations

The Windows NT version of the Probe for Sitescope does not use a recovery file. Instead, the probe uses a registry key to store an offset from the beginning of the log file. This enables the probe to return to the same place in the log file after a restart. To use this facility, the probe must be installed as a service. To install the probe as a service, enter the following command at the console:

nco_p_sitescope /install

Once installed as a service, the probe can be run from the console, or it can be started and stopped using the Windows NT Services dialog box. To remove the probe after it has been installed as a service, enter the following command:

nco_p_sitescope /remove stdout

Do not specify stdout as the message log property when running the Windows NT version of the Probe for Sitescope. Instead use CON to log on to the console window.
