I am trying to start a service from the command line using ‘net start SERVICENAME’ and I get an access denied error.
I am an administrator on this server since I am in a domain group that are admins on the server. I can start/stop the service from the Services tool.
I am new to 2008/Vista so maybe I am just missing something..
update: I did not use ‘run as administrator’. Is this something new in 2008? Where do I find this option?
Type cmd into the search box in the start menu.
Right click on cmd.exe and Run As Administrator.
You could also create a shortcut to cmd and set the shortcut to run as administrator if this is something you’re going to do often.
