Run LabVIEW executable when user logs off

Could other PC's on the network have access to my windows service program?  For example PC 1 has the windows service program.  PC 2 has my UI program.  Would they be able to comunicate?

That should work. Internet servers or FTP servers can run as service as well, so TCP communication to a service via network is definitely possible. You might have to set up the service dependencies correctly, your service will depend on the TCP/IP service.

Then of course it's a firewall question, you have to make sure that the PC running the service allows incoming connections.

Sure. For example, you can use TCP/IP as transport layer for your service. Theoretically you can get communication from several client PCs to your SErvice PC at the same time (some programming work required, of course).
