I know you can do it on installation, but post I am not aware.

How can you install both WAS and WAS Portal 6.0 as a service on Windows 2003
?

Hi

From the c:\WebSphere\AppServer\bin directory, run the command: -

WASService.exe
-add WP6
-serverName WP6
-profilePath "c:\ibm\WebSphere\profiles\wp_profile"
-wasHome "c:\WebSphere\AppServer"
-userid wpsadmin
-password passw0rd

The service should be then be listed in the Services Control Panel plugin ( 
services.msc ) under "IBM WebSphere Application Server V6 - WP6".

If you make a mistake, you can remove the service: -

WASService.exe
-remove WP6

Please see the Information Centre here: -

for further details.

I the the following error when doing your fix

"Could not determine the process id of the Java process. Changing the IBMWAS
6Service - WP6 service status to the "stopped" state.  To prevent this error
, try recreating this service with the -logRoot parameter.  The value of the
 logRoot parameter should b
e the directory in which the server's .pid file is created."

I used WASService.exe -add WP6 -serverName WP6 -profilePath "D:\ibm\WebSpher
e\profiles\wp_profile" -wasHome "D:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer" -
userid wpsadmin -password <somepassword>
