PeerLock Startup/Services Options

If you are running PeerLock v2.0.1 or newer on the same machine as PeerSync you will now be able to configure PeerLock directly from the PeerSync Profiler.  This window provides a way in which you can install the PeerLock service directly from the PeerSync Profiler interface. The options can be accessed from the "Startup/Service" > PeerLock Startup/Service window.

Install PeerLock Service

Check this feature if you want PeerLock to run automatically as a service under Windows NT. To configure and run the service you must go to the Services window by clicking on the "Details" > "Show Services" button and select "PeerLock Utility Software" item.  By default the service is installed with the "Local System account". If your Source or Target folder is not located on the local machine, then you will have to configure the service to "Log on as:" an alternate (Domain Admin) account on your domain so that the service has the rights to access the remote machines and/or devices.  Otherwise the service may not run properly.

Note: It is advised to use UNC paths if you plan to run PeerSync or PeerLock as a Service do to the fact that mapped drives are not understood when a user is not logged on.
