Why not just run server as a service under a different account? That way you don't get any dialogs.

Am I missing something?

nice tip. works very well and easy to understand.

to not fiddle around with user rights managment better create a password protected admin user account.

put the backburner server shortcut into the startup-folder and your hidden backburner slave is just a click away ;)

Maxscript only works inside of 3d studio, you can't use it to hide the program AFAIK.
