Hi

I agree with David's suggestion, and there are some links in the MSDN about
this.

Re: Service Restart - (Client - Server Architecture)

Hi,

thanks for your help so far! But I still have a tiny problem:

How can I connect to a remote machine and force the Service to restart??

What I tried was to set the name of our test-server ("JARJAR") and tried
to connect from a local test-client ("GOWRON").

The problem is if I try to connect to JARJAR, GOWRON throws an exception
saying I need some privileges...

ex.message = "Cannot open Service Control Manager on computer 'JARJAR'.
This operation might require other privileges."

Any suggestion on how to solve this??

Of course you do need some privileges on the remote computer to start and
stop its services. You need to be an administrator of JARJAR.

Re: Service Restart - (Client - Server Architecture)

this is exactly the problem! I AM the admin of JARJAR... This makes me
go wild about this....

How can you be an admin on JARJAR when running code on GOWRON?
You can't be an admin on two different systems unless the credentials
(userID and password) are the same on both boxes (and this could even become
problematic on XP SP2 and W2K3 SP1).

Re: Service Restart - (Client - Server Architecture)

Hi

Do you mean you are using a Domain Account and you have added the the
account the administrators group?

Also you may try to investigate the eventlog on the JARJAR machine to see
if there is any permission deny log.
1. run eventvwr
2. select the Security category
3. rerun the ServiceControle r app
4. Press F5 to refresh the eventlog
5. observe the added log to see what account you are using when denied.

Re: Service Restart - (Client - Server Architecture)

Hi Peter,

I did this - there is no entry in the log! I'm somewhat confused about
this...

I guess it is what Willy mentioned to be "problemati c" :-)

I'll leave the problem aside for now...
If I get the time I will come back to this, but for now

Thanks to all for the support,

Martin

Re: Service Restart - (Client - Server Architecture)

Hi

Ok.
Also no entry in the event log may be caused by that we did not turn on the
logon audit.
You may try to follow these steps:

1. Click Start, click Settings, click Control Panel, click
Administrative Tools, and then click Local Security Policy.

2. After you open Local Security Policy, in the left Tree View pane,
click Security Settings, click Local Policies, and then click Audit
Policy.

3. Double-click Audit Logon Event and then click Success and Failure.
Event Log entries are added under the Security log.

4. Do the same thing with the Audit Account Logon Event.

You may have a try at your convenience.
