I have given up for the time being to try and use sc.exe to get the Bacula-fd.exe with Bacula-fd.conf to run automatically at boot. It is getting me no place.
So I starting thinking about possibly using a batch file. Running a file I created that I named bacula-fd-start.bat and placed in the Program Files\Bacula\scripts\ directory. I created the scripts folder.
I ran my batch file that contains the following, and it started the file daemon perfectly…
------------------------------------------------------------------
rem Startup script to startup Bacula File Daemon client.
cd C:\Program Files\Bacula\
start bacula-fd.exe -c ./bacula-fd.conf
exit
------------------------------------------------------------------
…and now when I do a netstat I see it there listening.

TCP 0.0.0.0:47001 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING
So I am going to see if I can get this batch file to start with the system rather than in a user startup menu when anyone logs in. The Bacula-fd.exe with the .conf file needs to run at boot.
Anyone have any thoughts on how to get the .bat file to execute without a user logging in to the Windows server?

I entered this:
C:\>sc create Bacula-FD binpath= "\"C:\Program Files\Bacula\bacula-fd.exe\" -c \"C:\Program Files\Bacula\bacula-fd.conf\" " type= share start= auto
[SC] CreateService SUCCESS
Under netstat –na | more I saw nothing.
Then I saw the service listed in service.msc but it was not running. When I tried to run it manually it stated, “Could not start Bacula on Local Computer error 1053 The service did not respond to the start or control requests in a timely fashion.”
I am going to go back are read the links in the previous couple emails.

As a result I expect the answer to be exactly:
sc create Bacula-FD binpath= "\"C:\Program Files\Bacula>bacula-fd.exe\" -c \"C:\Program Files\Bacula\bacula-fd.conf\" " type= share start= auto
