Re: Trying to control Services on Remote Server

I have admin rights on the machine I am trying to manage. Is there away to
do something like
Controller.username = "Admin";
Controller.Password = "Password";
So the server knows who is trying to manage the machine??

you need to be an admin on the remote system you are trying to manage.

I would guess that you need admin privileges on the machine you are trying
to control. I can control a service on my tower, but if I try to control
them an another one in our building I get the same error.

Ok, thanks, that fixed that now it errors out saying that " Cannot open
Service Control Manager on computer '//ServerName'. This operation might
require other privileges." Not sure what privileges I need.

Steve,

        Is SMTP the name of the exe on the remote server? You have to
actually control a registered service. For instance the mail app that
handles SMTP (SomeMailApp.exe).

Hello,

I have the following code:

ServiceController controller = new ServiceController();
controller.MachineName = "//ServerName";
controller.ServiceName = "SMTP";
string status = controller.Status.ToString(); // This line errors out with
the following error

Cannot open SMTP service on computer '//ServerName'.

If have tried using "Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP)" for the service
name with the same result. Is there something I am overlooking here???
