Windows Service is Deleted: How to get it back? Fix? Help!!!

Question

Hi All:
I installed a full NW2004S SR2 with Max Db 64 Bit (Windows Server 2003 64 bit). 7.6.03.11
The install went perfectly.  When I restarted the machine, it had a windows error.  I used the Last Known Good Config. Windows starts.
the problem is the Service with the MaxDB starting service is gone (not in Services.msc)
How do I recreate it and point it to the proper directories?
Thanks
Tony.

Hi,
you can re create service using ntscmgr
open cmd prompt in windows
locate your kernel directory using  ( use CD command )
now execute following
ntscmgr  install SAPSID_<instance number> -b  <path of kernel > -p  pf=<drive>:\usr\sap\SID\SYS\profile\START_DVEBMGS<instance_number>_hostname service
for example:
D:\usr\sap\IDS\SYS\exe\uc\NTI386>ntscmgr install SAPIDS_04 -b D:\usr\sap\IDS\D04
\exe\sapstartsrv.exe -p pf=D:\usr\sap\IDS\SYS\profile\START_D04_BCINICSS
M001 service
where D:\usr\sap\IDS\SYS\exe\uc\NTI386 is my kernel directory
IDS - SAP SID
04 - Instance number
BCINICSSM001  - host name
if you install abap + java system you need to create two service one for SCS instance and one for ABAP.
