Are you experiencing issues with a virtualized Rockwell development station on Windows Server 2022? The current setup causes disruptions when someone logs out, shutting off RSLinx and crashing designers' programs. Is there a solution to run RSLinx as a service for all users to avoid this issue and prevent any unsaved work from being lost? Let's find a fix for this common problem together.
By configuring it to operate as a service, it will be accessible to all users.
Lovell suggested setting it up as a service so that it can work effectively for all users. I am curious if this option will be feasible for all users. Thank you!
I've also encountered this issue with my setup, and I agree, it's incredibly frustrating. One potential solution I've found is to use an application called AlwaysUp. It allows RSLinx to run as a service which can keep the communications up even when no one is logged in. So far, it's been a successful way to prevent my work from being lost when someone logs out. Can't agree more that we need a solid fix against this recurring problem, and I'm keen to hear other solutions that folks have come up with.
I've encountered a similar issue in past projects and running RSLinx as a service indeed proved helpful. An excellent tool that facilitated the process was "AlwaysUp", a utility designed to run any application as a Windows Service. It effectively allowed RSLinx to keep running in the background irrespective of whoever logs in or out. Also, it automatically restarts RSLinx in case of any unexpected crashes. While it's not a free tool, in my experience, the benefits far outweigh the costs, especially when it comes to protecting unsaved work and enhancing operational efficiency.
