Permissions for Windows Service on Server

Post Author: bdimon
CA Forum: Authentication
I wrote a Windows service running as an Active Directory user. It cannot print on the Windows Server so I wrote a windows application to test the permissions. When a user with local admin rights runs the test application, it prints. He starts the program using the "Run As" option and enters the Active Directory user from the service, he gets the same error as the Windows Service gets. This must be permissions-based.
When I installed this Windows Service on a staging server, everything was fine. However the staging server was not "secured" by the network team so the Active Directory user had Read/Execute permissions on the C: drive. I do not want to ask for these permissions on the production server's C: drive.
The error is:
System.Exception: Load report failed. ---> System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x800002AD): Error in File UNKNOWN.RPT:
The request could not be submitted for background processing.

I believe I'm having a similar problem, and was hoping to see if either you have found an answer to the problem or reactivate this thread in hopes someone will finally answer us.I'm creating reports using a windows service as well.  The report files are compiled into the DLL, and they are being exported to save them to disk.   The error is being generated when the report object is first accessed (which happens to be when attempting to set the Text property on a TextObject).  It works fine on my development machine.  I've installed the service on the production server using a Visual Studio 2005 Setup and Deployment project.  I added the 2005 Crystal merge module to the setup, so all necessary files should exist on the server.  The service is running as a domain user that has admin rights on the local machine, but we're still getting this error that seems, according to posts I've found online, to be a permissions issue.Here is the exception in its entirety:

  • Missing "Windows Service - SQL Server Analysis Services"

    Hi
    In my SharePoint 2013 Central Administration (this is a Project Server 2013 deployment), I got an alert for this error:
    PowerPivot: MidTier process account should have 'Full Read' permission on all associated SPWebApplications. 
    After reading
    this thread, I assumed I have the 2 accounts configured the wrong way, so I check
    this article to see how to change the accounts, but on the section
    "Change the account under which each service runs" it says to select
    "Windows Service - SQL Server Analysis Services", which I can't find like as you can see in the screenshot below. How can I solve this? I'm new to this all, so if you could simplify the explanation I would be thankful, if not, I'll
    just work on it anyway. :) Thanks!

    Hi ,
    In the process of configuring PowerPivot for SharePoint 2010, automatically select the Analysis Services for SharePoint Integration feature. After configuring PowerPivot for SharePoint 2010, we can see
    SQL Server Analysis Services and SQL Server PowerPivot System Service are started on manage services on server. So you can verify whether analysis service is installed for SharePoint on manage
    services on server.
    More information, please refer to the links:

  • CA and Certificate Issue in ACS 4.0 For Windows 2003 Enterprise Server

    Hi,
    I have configured Microsoft CA server on the same ACS 4.0 for Windows 2003 enterprise server which was configured earlier using the self generated certificates for EAP and PEAP authentications.
    After I change the certificate from self generated to the new CA certificate that can be viewed under install ACS certificate option on ACS server but having the following problems
    1. SSL is not functioning while internet browser access to the ACS server and going through http instead of https.
    2. Wireless clients are authenticated successfully even after the certificate is uninstalled.
    Any help on these problems will be appreciated.
    Thanks
    Best Regards,

    Hi Rohit,
    Thanks for reminding the HTTPS option under Administration Control on ACS.
    I have some doubts pertaining to installation of certificates on Wireless clients though it is optional for Self Generated Certificates but what in case of Mirosoft CA as I tested wireless client authentications even after removing the certificate from microsoft supplicant WindowsXP SP2 having installed the patch KB885453 for PEAP. How the certificate on wireless client works.
    Is it mandatory or optional to keep certificate on Wireless Clients as they could able to get authenticated through ACS after removing the certificate.
    Thanks

  • Error message: Host process for windows services stopped

    I recently had to install a new hard drive into my laptop. I am running windows vista and have installed all updated drivers. After installing itunes and uploading my backed up library, I went to play a song and I got the error "host process for windows services stopped working and was closed." Movies play fine. I have searched but have not found anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

    Q I just upgraded to a new mobo and CPU, the EVGA X58 SLi and i7 920, and this issue still persists! That means it is either the sound card or Steam. The drivers on the CD have no issues, only the newer ones do. So by deduction there is something wrong with the new drivers, but I need them to not BSOD in OpenAL!

  • A135-S4527 Host Process for Windows Services stopped...

    I have started getting a Windows error: Host Process for Windows Services stopped working and was closed.  Laptop runs fine except my network connection says Connection Status: Unknown The service to detect this status is turned off and McAfee stopped working.  Can't run any of the MS tools either.  I am suspicous of conficker e but don't know how to detect or remove it.  Have seen the b variant on an XP machine at work, but the tools we used on it don't work on Vista.
    I am running Vista Home Edition (came on Laptop) upgraded to SP1 with auto-updates on.  McAfee was also set for auto-updates and nightly full scans, active e-mail and internet scanning.  No recent software downloads except for updates.
    Have been having the issue since about April 28.  Tried to restore but no dates exist past May 5.  Tried the F8 Startup recovery no problems found.  Have tried restarting services but they quickly stop again.  Uninstalled McAfee and tried AVG. It allowed defintion updates and I scanned all files.  No viruses, trojans or malware detected.
    Any suggestions?  I have a tasklstserv file I can copy and paste if it will help.

    That's a bad-sector event. At a command prompt (cmd.exe), run chkdsk /r.

    But it doesn't seem likely that's the cause of the message. When you get another one, note the time and check the Application and System logs for entries at that exact time.

    I keep getting a popup window that says "host process for window services has stopped"
    How can I get rid of this?

    Hello tribefanz,
    Sounds like a compatiblity issue with a program and Windows 7. We need to find out what program is causing the issue though. We can do that through event viewer
    1. Click the start orb
    2. Select Control Panel
    3. System and Security
    4. Under Administrative Tools select the Event Viewer
    In the event viewer you will want to drill down into the Application and System logs and look for anything with a Red X that says Error. Identify the program causing the problem and then we can go from there.

  • Application Restart and Recovery APIs doesn't work for windows services

    I am using the Application Restart and Recovery mechanism (provided in Windows API Code Pack for Microsoft.NET Framework) to collect some information (i.e. stack information when there's an unhandledexception)  before my windows service crash down.
    It works well for windows form applications, but the callback method wouldn't be called if the host is a windows service. 
    I have checked the article: https://msdn.microsoft.com/zh-cn/subscriptions/downloads/cc303708
    But it doesn't specify clearly whether it works for a windows service. It seems that the recovery will only be activated when the user interacts with the error dialog of Windows Error Reporting (clicking "close" on the dialog, for example).
    So I am wondering is my guess right that the Application Restart and Recovery mechanism doesn't work for windows services. Or is there a better way to meet my requirement? 

    I would suggest trying ARR if that's what you want to use.  The restart portion won't work, but it doesn't need to as if you fail out of your service, the Windows service controller will handle recovery (up to and including restarting your service).
     You configure those recovery actions either through code or one of the built in administrative tools for services such as services.msc.  
    DebugDiag/ADplus and similar tools ultimately do use built-in APIs; you don't need to add anything external to collect debugging information.  You do however have to write a good deal of code to do somethings.  It's pretty simple to use the unmanaged
    function that I pointed out before and
    MiniDumpWriteDump to write a minidump when you hit an unexpected error(the dbghelp.dll that comes installed with Windows has it so you don't need anything additional installed).  You can even write a basic debugger that literally debugs a process using
    only kernel32 functions (see
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms679301(v=vs.85).aspx if you're interested).

  • Group policy preventing write access to hard drive for Windows Service

    I recently stood up several SharePoint Servers which use various domain user accounts as service accounts. Everything was going fine until the servers were moved from the staging OU to the production OU which has a server hardening GPO applied to it. Once
    this occurred, all of SharePoint's logging via the Tracing service broke--because this account doesn't run as Local Service, but rather one of the domain user accounts.
    After examining the Application event log, I saw it filled with errors indicating the E:\Logs\ULS and E:\Logs\Usage were not accessible due to error 0x5 -- access denied.
    I explicitly granted permissions to the service account to these folders, and gave Full Control perms. I then restarted the service, but the Access Denied errors persisted. I granted Full Control to the entire E: drive -- the root folder -- with inheritance,
    and made sure the permissions were inherited. And yet the problem persisted.
    I installed a different application which can log to different drives, and it writes to the E: drive just fine when run as Local System. If I change it to one of the domain service accounts, it too produces Access Denied errors trying to write to the E:
    drive, regardless of the NTFS perms.
    The E: drive is a hard drive, not a USB or removable drive.
    I found several posts here that explain how to disable write access to USB and DVD media, but I cannot find anything how to block writing to a hard drive. The server hardening GPO contains thousands of different settings and it'll take days to comb through
    them all. Does anyone know of a GPO setting that can block writing to a hard drive, regardless of NTFS perms?
    The servers in question are running Windows Server 2012 standard (not R2).
    UPDATE: If I grant the service account the ability to log on locally (i.e. add it to the local Users group), and open a command prompt with "Run as User," I can write to the E: drive just fine. But the access denied
    persists when running as a service. This leads me to believe a GPO is blocking the write access to a
    service user but allowing the same account when logging in as an interactive
    user.

    I created a test Windows service that does nothing more than open two StreamWriter objects -- one to write into E:\Logs\ULS and the other into C:\ProgramData\Logs. The former writes dummy text once per second, while the latter writes errors. So error messages
    will get written into C:\ProgramData\Logs.
    I set up this test Windows Service and set it up to use my SharePoint app pool account, and this was written to the error log - the first line indicates the account being used.

    Mind you I'm starting and stopping the service while logged in interactively -- I can CLEARLY SEE there's an E: drive and E:\Logs\ULS folder!

  • ISE Posture Condition for Windows Service Pack and Remediation

    Hi,
    We having ISE ver 1.1.1 and currently on PoC. I have the following points to be clarified for Posture and Remediation.
    1) How to configure a condition to check Windows Service pack (may be more than 1 Windows favor such as XP, Win 7 and Win 8) and how to remediate in case client is not complying with Windows requirement.
    2) I configure AV condition and looks its working fine, however I still couldnt find the place to how to remediate in case client is not having proper verion and AV definition on his PC.
    3) We have a Authorization profile configured with dACL"Posture Remediation" where we allowing AV server update url and also matching ACL configured on switch "Posture Redirect", wants to know the exact purpose on these two ACLs.
    4) where can we see the logs of none-complaints logs and find out the reason for non-complaints
    appreciate if someone can please give us a proper document to achive the above task or send me any working senario configuration steps.
    thanks in advance.

  • Create metric alert in OEM 12c for windows services

    Hi,
    I was wondering if there is a way to create metric alert for services on a windows host, so that when any service is in stopped state, we will get an alert.
    We can check the status of services from OEM that are running in a windows server.
    Host -> Monitoring -> All Metrics -> Services
    I got below command from this forum that was posted a long time ago,
    nmefwmi "wbem_wql=select name, pathname, processid, Started, startmode, state, status from win32_service" "wbem_wql_column_order=name, pathname, processid, Started, startmode, state, status" "wbem_namespace=root\cimv2"
    However, I am not sure where to run this command. Basically we want to get an alert when a windows service stops.

    Hi Abid,
    Ensure you are logged in as sysman user or any other super Admin user
    Go to Host -> Monitoring -> All Metrics -> Services >
    Next to Collection Schedule there is a modify button > click on that
    It will show a new page having following options
    Data Collection Enabled Disabled (Select Enabled here)
    Frequency
    Default is 15 min , if you want then you can change it accordingly

  • Users and permissions for a small home server

    Hello community,
    I have been using Linux on the desktop for many years now, but unfortunately my knowledge about servers is very limited, almost non-existent. Therefore my question is most probably equally well fitting here and into the newbie corner.
    I'm trying to set up a little home server which should be in charge of following tasks:
    - CUPS print server in the local network
    - access to shared files through NFS in the local network
    - backup (again over NFS)
    - an Owncloud server
    - maybe a mail server in the long run (NSA, paranoia, etc. )
    For now I have set up the print server, the NFS server and was working on the Owncloud installation, when Owncloud gave me some errors with users and permissions. So I was led to the idea of rethinking the users and permissions on server. So far there is only the root user who may do everything. This seems like a quite unsafe configuration. I'd like to make it safer. First, the printer, the backup and the locally shared files should be accessible from the local network only. SSH access should also be accessible locally only. The Owncloud file folder should be accessible from the internet, but of course only for the Owncloud users registered to the Owncloud server.
    What is the best way to set up users and permissions for such a set up?
    Thanks for any hints,
    PhotonX

    Hi, i think it depends who are you serving for, if you are just serving for a small office or home server or a big organization. The following quick thinking just came to me:
    I think cups set automatically a system  user of its own, and runs as it, so no trouble there. Cups also has the option to set users and it uses the system users as default, i think it depends in in how many printers/users your have in your server.Users that can manage cups are in the lp group. 
    For nfs every user should have their home, samba is also a good option if you have  windows computer in your network and it integrates better with graphical file  managers like nautilus in the clients side, but it is a hassle to configure.
    You should run the web server (owncloud ) as it own user, maybe you can manage to set something up for owncloud in the filesystem, but owncloud uses a database, and the users for owncloud are stored in there, and they are not system users.
    You can configure ssh for local use only enabling the corresponding subnets in your /etc/sshd.conf and optionally but recommended you can set a firewall and permissions. You can use iptables but i prefer ufw for simple setup.
    I think you should read the wiki:
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/users_and_groups
    and the other respective topics in the wiki.
    Also as an advice i know that arch linux is a great distribution, but you have to do more work to mantain a stable server. I would recommend debian or another more conservative distro, but of course it is your choice.

    As mentioned above you will not find Toshiba drivers designed especially for the Windows 2003 R2 Server.
    But dont worry and dont give up.
    The simply Windows XP drivers should be compatible and you should be able to install the Xp drivers on the Win2003 Server OS.

  • Wich Caching Proxy would be suiteable for Windows 7 Professional Server

    I got the following setup:

    I managed to minimise the Internet Load for updates by orgianising Offline installers for the software that had them.
    But Windows Updates and some of the Adobe Photoshop Updates don't want to be easily accesible offline.
    The only thing I can effectively do for those would be a Cachign Proxy. Aside from MSE definitions (multiple updates per day possible), most of the files will be only updated every month or so.
    It also does not need to cache normal Internet Traffic, only large files like updates. Maybe only towards very specific servers (like the MS and Adobe update servers).
    What options for a caching Proxy server do I have in this scenario?

    As I understand it:
    If the programm uses the WinINET settings at all (not many do nowadays), the settings is per user. But you can force a system wide value via registery entry.
    I asume windows update will use that setting (I read often about having to change odd users proxy settings before). The WU Service runs under the "Local System" Account in a non-interactive session.
    So either changing the proxy settings of Local System or setting the OS to use a global setting should redirect it. So it is possible to redirect the Updater (even background downloaders) to use a proxy server.
    I would still need a proxy server I can run on a mere Win 7 Pro. Ideally one I can tell to only cache for specific domains/ip adresses* (the one of the Update servers for Adobe and Windows, for example).
    And google will result in me hitting links taking about Proxies run by other people before it will ever give me a list of availible server softwares and thier pro/con's.
    *I can get those IP adresses/domains either via wireshark or the resource monitor of Windows. So finding out where the data comes from is the least of my worries.
    In the meantime I looked into wsus offline updater. While it cannot cover the regular MSE or the odd Adobe updates, it can still handle the bulk of data.

  • Oracle 9.0.1.1.1 For Windows/2000 HTTP server

    I can not start Oracle HTTP Server after Oracle 9.0.1.1.1 installation . I am getting error : The application or DLL $ORA_HOME\Apache\JServ\ApacheModuleJServ.dll is not a Valid Windows Image . Bad dll file in install disks ?
    File ApacheModuleJServ.dll size 54K . Please send a valid ApacheModuleJServ.dll .

    The Calendar SDK was only certified for the platforms you list, although I don't expect you would encounter any platform-specific problems using it on Windows 2000 or XP. That said, those platforms are not officially supported for 9.0.4.2, with all that implies.
    The upcoming 9.0.5 release should be certified for Windows 2000 (only - and, of course, subject to change up until it actually ships).
