Install and start the Scheduler service (Windows)

This procedure describes how to install and start the Scheduler service on a Windows server.

Important notes:

Because the Scheduler connects to the Content Store on the TEXTML Server, the TEXTML Server must be running when you start the Scheduler. Otherwise, the Scheduler service will not start.
If you restart the TEXTML Server, you must also restart the Scheduler.

To install and start the Scheduler service on a Windows server:

In Windows, click Start, right-click Command Prompt, and select Run as administrator.
Click Yes in the confirmation window.
A command-line interface opens.
Navigate to the Scheduler bin file:
For example:
```
cd C:\ixiasoft\Scheduler\bin
```
Enter the following command:
```
InstallScheduler-NT.bat
```
The Scheduler is installed.
In the \bin folder, start the Scheduler service. Type:
```
net start Scheduler
```
The server confirms that the Scheduler has been started:
```
The Ixiasoft Scheduler service is starting....
The Ixiasoft Scheduler service was started successfully.
```
