I have faced a case when the same batch file works differently from command line and when it is fired from a WCF service hosted on IIS. The difference is in XCOPY command. when I am running the batch file normally than XCOPY moves all data I need XCOPY "C:\from" "C:\to" /K /R /E /I /S /C /H /G /X /Y but when it runs from the WCF service nothing is copied. for running the batch from my service I am using the following code Executing Batch File in C# whith some little modifications. My Application pull is running under LocalSystem account. I also tryed to use my own account for the application

I need to change Logon user for a Windows service programmatically. And I am using the following code to do that: string objPath = string.Format("Win32_Service.Name='{0}'", ServiceName); using (ManagementObject service = new ManagementObject(new ManagementPath(objPath))) { object[] wmiParams = new object[11]; if (PredefinedAccount) { wmiParams[6] = "LocalSystem"; wmiParams[7] = ""; } else { wmiParams[6] = ServiceUsername; // provided by user wmiParams[7] = ServicePassword; // provided by user } object invokeResult = service.InvokeMethod("Change", wmiParams); // handle invokeResult - no error

I have IIS version 10 installed on Windows 10 Pro Version 1709, build 16299.125. After a Windows update, IIS stopped working. I saw that W3SVC isn't working, because WAS (Windows Process Activation Service) can't be started. When I try to start WAS, Windows display the message: Windows can't start Windows Process Aplication Service on Local Computer. Error 13: The data are invalid Looking at Windows Event Log, I see that WAS didn't started due event ID 5005, 5215 and Service Control Manager stopped due event ID 7023. I did some research and tried a lot of stuff: I tried the commands as

I have to create a program that monitors changes in file size. I already made a simple windows service and filesystemwatcher so I am now familiar w/ the concept. I also made a code that checks for the filesize (made it in a form button)but haven't yet implemented in my filesystemwatcher. How do I create a windows service that has a filewatcher that monitors the file size? Do I have to put a filesystemwatcher inside the windows service and call the watcher via the OnStart method? If you're making a Window's service, then you'll want to do it programmatically. I usually keep forms out of my

We are working on an update system for our software. The updater should run in the background as a service, and when an update is available, download and install it. We need the service to install the update since the MSI requires elevation to run, but some of our clients will be restricted users. The MSI is a WiX MSI and does a major upgrade when run. The problem is, the update does not seem to work when run from our service. I can see msiexec run, and it returns successfully, but it seems to make no changes to the system. The same command, when run from my user account works as expected. Is
