I therefore enabled auto-logon on the WHS units I run vitaminD on and run VitaminD on logon.Works very well, since the server is located in a secured area, there is no problem having auto-logon enabled.If you decide to logon manually, turn your windows-update to manual (not recommended!) or it will restart once a month after applying windows updates and VitaminD will stop.To enable auto-logon, tweak your registry or use a program like system scheduler if you are not comfortable hacking the registry.

I tried but was not successful. Vitamin D is a pretty impressive piece of software..... How do you get it to run as a service? I tried but was not successful.

It also runs as a service under Windows Home Server so there is no need to keep the admin account logged in.The number of false positives is greatly reduced with this software.Believe me, I tried them all. :) I suggest to use Vitamin D from http://www.VitaminDinc.com as the DVR package.
