For 25 years I had a Imaging business. I've never seen a Enterprise Imaging System monitored by a desktop application. Everything I've in the past uses a Server Based Windows Service for this functionality. With a windows service running on a server, everything is available. Auto restart of the service, Server Logs, SMTP Mail Notifications, Services can be stopped and started using Solarwinds so the user doesn't have to log directly into the server. Possibly not implementing the requested features is the direct result of using a desktop application.
