The following description is based on a recent client experience where I installed and configured Lucidworks Fusion in a 3 virtual server farm, in a very Microsoft dependent environment. My client required that each piece of software run as a self-sufficient Windows Service, which can start itself automatically upon server restart.
Software
| Use | Software |
|---|---|
| Operating System | Windows Server R2 |
| Solr | 5.2.1 |
| Zookeeper | 3.5.1 |
| Lucidworks Fusion | 2.1.1 |
| Java | jdk-7u79-windows-x64 |
| Windows Services | https://nssm.cc/ |
| Important | NSSM does NOT work with JDK 8 |
Install Windows Services script
Next to the nssm.exe executable, create this installWindowsServices.bat file.
NOTE: Obviously change the paths to the paths you installed on.

In CMD prompt, execute installWindowsServices.bat
ERRORS in the Windows Service? - Remove them
Create a removeServices.bat file.
nssm.exe remove ApacheSolr nssm.exe remove ApacheZookeeper nssm.exe remove LWFusion
Very Important!
Windows services need to be assigned an account to log into, lest they stop working when you log out. So open the Windows services at this point, click into each one, and in the "Log On" tab, assign an admin level account that you created for the purpose of running these services.
