# Running the Movebot Agent as a Service
The Movebot Agent (Couchdrop Cloud Connector) can be run as a Windows service.
Installing the agent as a service requires some understanding of how Windows services work and the service must be configured to run as the same user that is performing the configuration.
Before starting, make sure that you have installed the Couchdrop Cloud Connector by [following the steps outlined here](https://docs.movebot.io/connections/windows-file-server)[. ](https://community.movebot.io/hc/en-us/articles/360002289775)Make sure you have run and configured everything properly and check that it is working.
Click on the settings icon (⚙️) in the top right of the agent window, then click "**Install as a service**"
If you encounter an error, try running the agent as an administrator before installing the service.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.movebot.io/platform-guides/windows-fileservers/running-the-movebot-agent-as-a-service.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
