Just a quick question, didn't know the best newgroup for this though.

This probably shows my lack of understanding but hopefully someone will 
explain this two me.  I've been developing a client / server applicaiton 
with DCOM where the server runs on one machine and has many clients 
connecting to it form other machines.  The server has a management interface 
for controlling the connections.

When a run a client, it instanciates the server and the server is loaded up 
on the "server" machine.  What I want to know is, what happens if no one is 
logged on to the windows machine i.e. it is just sitting at the login 
screen.  Will the server app still start?  If so, what then happens when 
someone logons on - will they see the server GUI on there desktop?

I'm not sure what sure what the results are...  I need to server to run 
regardless of if a user is logged on to the server PC and so this is 
strating to sound a bit like a service with a seperate configuration GUI. 
Is it possible to wrap DCOM into an NT service?  Are there any issues with 
this.

Any pointers would be greatly appreshiated.  I've reasd all the DCOM 
references I can find but no seem to answer this question...
