Help - - Trouble Getting Dnetc to start as a Service in Win2k

[Train]

I got my Win2k server up and running, but since I leave it logged out most of the time, serving up webpages and SQL databases, I tried to get dnetc installed as a service, I went to command prompt and typed dnetc -install, said it installed ok, then I rebooted. Then when I went to the services manager in Administrative tools, after "distributed.net client" it was balnk for status, so I tried to manually start it, and i got the message "Could Not Start Distributed.net CLient Service on local computer, Error 5: Access Denied"

Any ideas guys?

You need Administrator rights to install dnet as a service, even if it's in your user space.

Train - did you login as Administrator when you tried to do it manually? If it works that way, then you can maybe setup the service to logon as a local system account so it won't have to have a manual logon at boot...

I tried both logins, and yes i was logged in as Administrator, both times I got the same error

soundslike a hosed up install or something

btw train you dont need to restart to start the service. after -install use dnetc -svcstart
and itll start..no reboot necessary 🙂

I'd look real hard in the properties for the service in the services applet.

Make sure that interact with desktop is NOT checked, and that it is installed as a local system account.

Good luck!
