#### Binary Path
12+
13+
Displays the location of the program files used by this service.
14+
15+
#### Error Control
16+
17+
`1` indicates `SERVICE_ERROR_NORMAL`. If the service fails to start during computer startup, the startup program logs the error and displays a pop-up message box but continues the startup operation. This value can't be changed.
18+
19+
#### Exit Code
20+
21+
When an error occurs, the error number appears in this box.
22+
23+
The Windows error code defines any problems encountered in starting or stopping the service. This property is set to `ERROR_SERVICE_SPECIFIC_ERROR` (`1066`) when the error is unique to the service represented by this class, and information about the error is available in the `ServiceSpecificExitCode` property. The service sets this value to `NO_ERROR` (`0`) when running, and again upon normal termination.
24+
25+
Use this number to troubleshoot failures by searching on Microsoft Learn, or provide the number to your technical support staff.

23+
#### Start Mode
24+
25+
Set this service to the following choices:
26+
27+
- **Manual**: This service doesn't automatically start when the computer starts. You must start the service using [!INCLUDE [ssnoversion-md](../../../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] Configuration Manager, or some other tool.
28+

## When to use an alias
2626

27-
By default, [!INCLUDE[ssNoVersion](../../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] connects to a local instance of [!INCLUDE[ssNoVersion](../../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] using the **Shared Memory** protocol, and to an instance of [!INCLUDE[ssNoVersion](../../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] on another computer using either **TCP/IP** or **Named Pipes**. Create an alias when you're using TCP/IP or named pipes, and you want to provide a customized connection string, or when you want to use a name other than the server name for the connection.
28-
29-
### Examples
30-
31-
- [!INCLUDE[ssNoVersion](../../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] isn't listening on the default TCP/IP port of 1433 so you want to provide a connection string with a different port number.

- [!INCLUDE[ssNoVersion](../../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] isn't listening on the default named pipe so you want to provide a connection string with a different pipe name.

- An application expects to connect to a database on the server named `ACCT`, but that database has been consolidated as an instance named `ACCT` on a server named `CENTRAL`. The application can't easily be changed. Create an alias named `ACCT`, with a connection string pointing to `CENTRAL\ACCT`.
