How to publish a ArcMap to the ArcGIS Server…

So after tons of searching and bothersome problems, It took a while to find code, but none could be found.  So I wanted to make sure the end example was easily findable on the internet next time.  Hope this saves some time of another programmer out there!

This code will publish an .MXD map to the ArcGIS server.  And turn it on to be used right away.

 //The following C# code shows how to connect to the ArcGIS Server called "     ",
        //and use the IServerObjectConfiguration interface to set the properties of
        //a new server object configuration. The new configuration is created and
        // added to the server with the 
        //CreateConfiguration and AddConfiguration methods on IServerObjectAdmin.
        /// <summary>
        /// This publishes a Map to the ArcGIS Server
        /// </summary>
        /// <param name="serverMachineName">Servername</param>
        /// <param name="serviceName">Service name in which you want to call it</param>
        /// <param name="pathToMap">File Path to the .mxd map.</param>
        /// <param name="format">Which format you would like.  Look in code.</param>
