EPiServer Windows Services query

Hi Guys,

EPiServer installs the following windows services when you install EPiServer & CMO using deployment center.

- EPiServer CMO Aggregation Service
- EPiServer CMO Thumbnail Service
- EPiServer Indexing Service
- EPiServer CMS Log Service
- EPiServer Scheduler Service

My question is, for live deployment where you are just going to do xcopy, do you have to manually install all of these services?

I know that for EPiServer CMS 7 and above you don't need to manually install "EPiServer Scheduler Service" windows service, as schedule maintaince is now done within website itself however I am not sure about other windows services.

Can anybody please confirm?

Thanks

Hi Tahir

I don't think you need the indexing service but you do need the CMO services. I've pasted some useful links about installing and configuring CMO that may be useful below.

Install/uninstall CMO manually:

Installing and configuring the aggregation service (written for previous CMO versions, but should be accurate):

Configuring the Statistics Handler (written for CMO 2.0, but in general is accurate. I think browser definitions are not required now.):

Configuring after the Installation (written for CMO 2.0, but most of the steps are accurate):

Uninstalling CMO (written for CMO 2.0, but most of the steps are accurate):
