NT Service Toolkit Support

Frequently Asked Questions - Remote Automation

1. How do I raise events from service objects to clients that are accessing the service remotely?
2. My Service was working fine, but after I recompiled my Service EXE, I cannot remotely access the exposed objects.
3. Creating client objects seem to result in memory leaks.
4. Trouble creating client objects in Terminal Server.

Refer to the article Raising Events from Remote DCOM Objects using the NT Service Toolkit

Be sure that you also recreate the VBR file and distribute that along with your new Service EXE file when you recompile your Service EXE. Each time a Service EXE is created, the Service Configuration Wizard creates a new GUID for the exposed objects.

Be sure you are using the latest service template file, then rebuild your Service EXE to fix this problem.

Another thing you might be seeing is the initial thread pool allocation. Exposing the client object for creation has a little overhead the first time, the overhead size is dependent on the thread pool size specified.

You can also contact Desaware and we can email you the latest files.

This may be a result of a documented Microsoft issue with DCOM and Terminal Server. For more information and a possible solution, please refer to:
