(SC) DeleteService FAILED 1072

Question

Last time I create WAS profile and WASService then I try to config and run many script for learn how to config WAS, Finally it crash so i use wasprofile delete this profile

Answer 1

I had a similar problem and what I did to overcome it was the following:

1. Stop the service: net stop "ServiceName"
2. Ensure: the "mmc.exe" process does not exist (The "Services" list window): taskkill /F /IM mmc.exe

3. Delete the service: sc delete "ServiceName"

   C:\server>sc delete "ServiceName"
   
   [SC] DeleteService SUCCESS
   

Now, if I execute another sc command, what I get is the following:

C:\server>sc delete "ServiceName"

[SC] OpenService FAILED 1060:

The specified service does not exist as an installed service.

But not the 1072 error message
