Services
The RMS server software is comprised of a collection of Windows NT Services.
NT Services allow the program to load automatically on computer boot up and to run unattended
without a user being logged onto the computer.
NT Services must be registered with the Windows operating system.
RMS services are compatible with Microsoft Windows 2003 and newer operating systems. You must register
all services before proceeding to the next step.
