How to specify a name for the Windows service running a Bamboo build agent

[Gabor Maghera]

I am trying to install a Bamboo 4 build agent as a Windows service onto a machine which is already running a build agent as a service (for a different server). How can I specify a name for the Windows service, so it is guaranteed to be unique? If I install according to the instructions, the service creation fails due to the existing service for the other build agent running on the same machine.

(see last line for error)

PS G:\bamboo-agent-home> java "-Dbamboo.home=G:\bamboo-agent-home" -jar .\atlassian-bamboo-agent-installer-4.0.jar http:

//10.40.227.61:8085/agentServer installntservice

[Adam Myatt · Accepted solution]

First, use the BAT file to uninstall the service. Then in the wrapper.conf file modify the fields :

wrapper.ntservice.name and wrapper.ntservice.displayname

to have unique names (other than the defaults), then reinstall the service. Then install the second agent. After initial install, use the BAT to again uninstall the 2nd service edit the fields in wrapper.conf to be unique and reinstall the service.

Note, depending on the version of Windows you're on, you may need to right-click the BAT files when installing and uninstalling the service and select RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR.
