I am using WCF for the first time. I Have successfully created the service and it works fine on my local machine. I want to know the steps involved for deploying the service to the client environment (including changes to the config file, IIS settings) and any other miscellaneous settings.

A windows service is what you need. WCF is a communications library, and unless you plan to communicate with your application via a client, you don't need it. Your problem is related to activation, and keeping your code active in the background is what windows services do.
There are three types of hosting environments for WCF services: IIS, WAS, and self-hosting. The term “self-hosting” refers to any application that provides its own code to initialize the hosting environment. This includes console, Windows Forms, WPF, and managed Windows services.
