Registering a WebSphere windows services are very similar to adding a linux service. From a cmd prompt: Change directory to %WAS_HOME%/bin – in this example it is D:\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\bin The syntax of the command is wasservice –add <service name> -serverName <name of server> -profilePath <path to server profile> To enable the server to restart automatically and to encode the user name and password additional parameters are required wasservice -add Dmgr -serverName dmgr -profilePath D:\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\Dmgr01 -encodeParams -restart true -startType automatic -stopArgs "-username wasadmin -password password" wasservice -add Node -serverName nodeagent -profilePath D:\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\AppSrv01 -encodeParams -restart true -startType automatic -stopArgs '-username wasadmin -password password -stopservers' Once the wasservice command has been run successfully the new services will be visible ...

Create failed for User 'TMS'. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo) User, group, or role 'TMS' already exists in the current database. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 15023)   To fix this there are two different methods depending on the version of SQL Server you are using. Both of these commands re-map the user's Security Identifier (SID) to match the sql server login's SID.   SQL Server 2008 / SQL Server 2008 R2 If you have already created the server login for the user, run this in the database with the login problem. (Change ' user'  to be the database username you wish to fix, and ' serverlogin ' is the sql server login to map the user to).  ALTER USER user WITH LOGIN = serverlogin For full details of the ALTER USER command see MSDN  http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms176060.aspx
