Hello Guru's.
We have been using psservice for a long time on a Windows 2003 server, specifying a username/password which is a local admin on the remote server, without any issue:
PsService \\Servername -u <user> -p <password> stop myService
When we try to run this exact same command from a Windows 2008 R2 server, it fails. We are seeing a security event audit failure in the log -
A handle to an object was requested.
Subject:
Security ID: DOMAIN\User
Account Name: User Running Command, not -u
Account Domain: DOMAIN
Logon ID: 0x6c68cdf
Object:
Object Server: SC Manager
Object Type: SERVICE OBJECT
Object Name: myService
Handle ID: 0x0
Subject:
Security ID: DOMAIN\User
Account Name: User Running Command, not -u
Account Domain: DOMAIN
Logon ID: 0x6c68cdf
Object:
Object Server: SC Manager
Object Type: SERVICE OBJECT
Object Name: myService
Handle ID: 0x0
The account name is the account of the user trying to run the command, who does not have local admin rights on the remote server. It is not the account specified with the -u
Does Windows 2008 R2 not support the psservice command using alternate credentials? Or does the user who is invkoing the command also have to be a local admin? Again, this works correctly from a Windows 2003 server, but we are trying to shut it down :)
Thanks in advance for your help!
