## Starting EMSRV for Windows NT/2000 from the command line

Perform the following steps to start EMSRV for Windows NT/2000 from the command line:

1. Change directory to the directory containing the EMSRV executable (as specified previously in Setting up EMSRV for Windows NT/2000).
2. At the command line, enter `emsrv` with the desired parameters (see EMSRV Startup options).

For example, at the NT/2000 command line enter:

    emsrv -u EMSRVUSER -p swordfish -W d:\path

This command does the following:

- Loads EMSRV with EMSRV account name `EMSRVUSER` and password `swordfish`
- Sets the working directory to `d:\path`, The working directory is where EMSRV writes a log file.

Note:
  Do not attempt to start EMSRV using a path-qualified executable name such as d:\vast\bin\emsrv since the program will not start because emsrv uses the presence of the path information to indicate that it is running as a service.
