Service Activation Type
COM+ 1.5 allows you to configure a server application to run as a system service. Configuring your application as a service allows you to have your application running as soon as the machine boots, independent of client activation requests. Another benefit is that a service application is the only way to run under the system identity account. The system account is the most powerful account on a given machine.
The application Activation tab contains the checkbox “Run application as NT Service” (see Figure B-7). When this option is selected, you can also configure the various service parameters by clicking the Setup New Service button, saving you the trouble of using the Control Panel services applet.

catalog object.
