Configuring Sybmail and Extended Stored Procedures

Adaptive Server uses XP Server, an Open Server application, to execute the system extended stored procedures (ESPs) that implement Sybmail.

By default, XP Server configuration uses LocalSystem as its start-up account. However, to use Sybmail, you must configure XP Server to start under a user account.

  1. Start the Server Config tool.
  2. Complete the initial steps to configure Adaptive Server.
  3. Click Configure Default XP Server.
  4. Click This Account, then enter a valid Windows user account and password for the server. Make sure that the account has the right to log in as a service.
    If you do not have an existing user account with the right to log in as a service, you can grant a user this right from the Windows User Manager:
    1. Select Start > Programs > Administrative Tools > User Manager.
    2. Select the user name to act as the service.
    3. Select Policies > User Rights.
    4. Select Show Advanced User Right.
    5. Select Log on as a service, and click OK.
    6. Exit User Manager.
  5. Click OK, then Save, then Exit.
