SAP Note 142100 - Windows: Problems with new SAP service as of Rel. 4.5B

Component : Windows - Installation Windows

Summary :
With Release 4.5B, SAP transitioned from SAPNTSTARTB.exe to the DCOM-based service SAPSTARTSRV.EXE to improve Active Directory integration under Windows. The change introduces several operational considerations affecting service management, environment settings, and MMC operations. The deprecated tools and interfaces include SSERVMGR.EXE, NTENV2REG.EXE, and NTSCMGR.EXE, affecting service installation, operation, and monitoring. New requirements for managing the service via an MMC snap-in are established, alongside specific changes to environmental variable handling and error management in system services. Enhanced MMC integration offers more detailed system information and monitoring capabilities. Users must adapt to new administrative workflows and ensure compatibility with their system setups.
