Windows Service Security

I have a simple windows service where I read from a database and check the
value read to one in the registry. If they are different then it launces an
application. My problemn is that I'm getting security errors when trying to
launch that application. How can I modify the security setting of my
service?

Is there a specific process or permissions that must be granted to get a .NET (framework 1.4) Window Service to run properly on a Windows 2003 Server? I built a Windows Service to start two local programs (Putty and Pageant) located on a Win 2003 Server. The service installs but doesn't start the Putty / Pageant programs properly when using any user ID except my own. Why will it work with my User ID? I install the Windows Service on a Win...

I'm getting Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection errors on a .Net windows service I wrote, when it's running on my application server. It's not a problem with mixed mode security. I'm set for mixed mode and I've been running the service on the app server for over a month with no problem. My database is running on a second server and both are under the same domain. The problem has occurred twice over the last two months.

Dear all, I built a Web Form application to start and stop a Windows Service remotely. I successful tested the application on Windows 2000 server + IIS. I must include the ASPNET user to the Administration group (on server side) to have the necessary authorization to start a Windows Service (I don't understand why "Power User" rights are not enough to do the same thing) Although I'm able to start a service using windows 2000 server...

I am having yet another issue with Windows Server 2003. This time, the web service (a file import web service) appears to run except for one odd message: "ActiveX component can't create object". There are no other statements to indicate what object cannot be created. Otherwise, everything on the test Windows Server 2003 works fine—all import data updates correctly. Unfortunately, my normal development environment is not Windows...

Hello, I have a problem with our OnlineBackupService.exe. This is a Windows Service which is built in .Net 1.1 and basically grabs files from the file system and will try to upload them using WebServices. The service is installed by default using LocalSystem account. The exact problem is that sometimes this service is not allowed to resolve the target webservice. This results in the following exception:

Hi. I know my windows service works when i run it in debug mode on my dev machine. It also works in release mode on my dev machine. But, when I move the service to a production server, it exits immediately with a start/stop/nothing to do error. What could be wrong?

Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
