Kern/All,
I was able to get the Bacula file daemon
to start manually on my Windows Server 2003 32bit system by
using the following exact command:
Command to start File Daemon:
C:\Program
Files\Bacula>bacula-fd.exe -c ./bacula-fd.conf
To see if the Bacula-FD is running I
entered the following at the command line:
netstat -na | more
Then I looked for socket 9101 listening.
Then I wanted to kill the daemon I
entered:
bacula-fd.exe -kill
Then I wanted the daemon to start as a
service at boot so if the server was ever rebooted it would
startup just like my Linux systems at bott/reboot without me
having to manually go to each Windows Server 2003/2008/2012.
I read about Creating A Service at this
Microsoft link: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc990289.aspx
Entering this command:
sc create Bacula-FD binpath=
"C:\Program Files\Bacula>bacula-fd.exe -c
./bacula-fd.conf" type= share start= auto
....produced a named service but it will
not start at boot and will not let me edit it from the
services.msc module.

Manully trying to click “Start
Service” gives this graphical error:
Services: Could not start the
Bacula-FD service on Local Computer. Error 2: The
system cannot find the file specified. OK?

Anyone know how to make it behave and
start up at boot without human intervention? I’m almost there!
Whoo hoo!

You simply ensure that Bacula is not
installed, login at the main console (not a remote console) as
Administrator and execute the bacula-fd .exe file, and if it
finishes without error, it should be installed as a system
program and running. There is no need to start it manually,
unless the bacula-fd.conf file needs changed, and in that
case, you always start it through the System Services panel.
Best regards,
Kern
