Adding/Removing Teamwork Server to Windows Services


To add Teamwork Server to Windows services


  1. Start Teamwork Server. The Teamwork Server dialog appears.
  2. Click the Add Windows Service button. After adding the service, do one of the following:
    • To run the server, click the Start Server button.
    • Start the service from the Windows Services list.
    • Reboot the computer and the Service will start automatically.

If you encounter any issues with adding the server as a Windows service, try starting the Teamwork Server as an administrator.

  1. Go to the Teamwork Server installation directory and stop Teamwork Server if it is running.
  2. Right click the teamwork_server.exe file. Select Run as administrator from the shortcut menu.


This feature is available only on Windows operating systems.

Windows 7 OS and Windows Vista OS Firewall do not allow remote connections. After adding Teamwork Server to Windows 7 or Windows Vista services, you must add the Teamwork Server port number 1100 in Windows Firewall Exceptions list. At that point, all remote connections to Teamwork Server will be allowed.
