You can use the SAS Service Configuration Utility to install SAS
servers (Workspace, SAS® OLAP Server, and so forth). You also have the option to install the SAS Services application as a service.

To create these as services select:
Start > Programs > SAS > SAS 9.1 Utilities > SAS Service Configuration Utility.

The Help in the SAS Service Configuration Utility contains the necessary documentation to help you configure everything. The following excerpt is from the Help documentation:
