.NET Service Failing To Start On Boot?
Jun 2, 2009
I created a simple service that does some inventory and records the data to a MySQL server. The service starts just fine when told to from the services administration panel. However, it will not on computer bootup. I get the famous error.
The InventoryService service failed to start due to the following error:The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion. I've read that logs can be a problem, so I disabled the autolog...but that didn't solve any problems. I believe it has something to do with the user not already being logged in and attempting to connect to a remote database. So, I added a function to check for internet connectivity before executing any inventory methods or SQL queries. This did not fix it either.
EDIT: I also am receiving the following error in the administrative logs. I create the service dependant upon the Tcpip service, but it still fails.A timeout was reached (30000 milliseconds) while waiting for the InventoryService service to connect.

I have developed a windows based clock program using C#,which has all clock functions like: Show time in Digital/Analog Format. Set up Alarm. I want its service to start with windows boot up, so that I don't have to manually start it every time I logon to Windows. I would like to know how do i put that service in start up? For Example: I want the service "ClockService.exe" to run with windows start up, kindly let me know how do I do it.

I've just been forced (by hurricane Irene) to shift from XP and Access 2003 to Windows 7 and Access 2010 with no time for testing or evaluating changes.All our databases are still Access 2000 format.Our offices were flooded and our servers got moved around, though they're all still named the same things, and in many cases things are working exactly the same.However, I have a database that I can't connect to.It's an Access front end that links to tables in an SQL Server 2005 back end.When I start up this particular database the first thing it does is fail when running code that had been put in to set up ODBC connections when one didn't exist on the computer that was trying to access the data.[code]I didn't write this code.

I've got a VB2005 application written by a previous coder. I had to move it to a new windows 7 box, since the xp box it was hosted on had catastrophic hard drive failure. It worked fine on the xp box, but it fails on the windows 7 box.
More specifically, I've tracked it back to a specific subsection. It uses the Process library to start pscp, the putty scp command line tool. It has a timer to wait 400 seconds for the process to close, otherwise it stops the process and reports an error.
Unfortunately, on windows 7 it doesn't seem to even start the process, because it does not wait the specified 400 seconds, nor does it report the other error it would give if pscp did start, but failed. Is there a compatibility issue with the process library, or is it some configuration issue?
Update:
Alright, after more testing I've determined that the subprocess is getting spawned, but the parent is not waiting for it to exit.
it seems the VB code myProcess.WaitForExit(40000) is not actually waiting until the process exits. Is this because it can't 'see' the process and believes it has exited?

I've got a webservice called Converter.asmx and I've just noticed that on the remote server I basically can't connect to it. The error that I get: "No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:49792" and the error occurs where I'm calling the web service (second line below).
Dim webservice As New localhost.Converter
results.InnerHtml = webservice.ParseData(txtInput.InnerText, options)
On my localhost it works fine. How can I change the webservice so that it'll work on the remote host as well?

This is a VB .NET 4.0 WinForms application. There is a mysql data-source involved with this project. The target CPU is set to any. Problem: When running this application on any computer that has VS 2010 installed along with the mysql connector it runs flawlessly. When installing on a virgin system(ie. No developer environment installed) but that machine does have .net framework 4.0 installed and a mysql server without the connector installed the application falls immediately. So to fix the issue I install the mysql connector MSI.
This immediately fixes the issue on the client system and it runs. The problems is that as you can see below from my Installer setup that the 2 needed DLL files for MYSQL are actually included in the installation package so should not need to be installed separately. So Why is it that using that installer from the images do I need to install the mysql connector? Any Ideas?
Below is a screen shot of the References the program uses and from what I believe I do not need to deploy any of those DLL files with my application other than the 2 MYSQL DLL files. So why is this failing? Below are images showing the project references as well as the Installer Files that are being installed in the application folder. As shown in the image the 2 mysql dll files are to be put in the application folder. There is also a screen shot showing each dll's properties for in application folder.

I have this VB ASP.NET Web Service Application project running VS 2005. I'm trying to add references. To do so I click on the "Properties" icon in the Solution Explorer window which presents me with a window to add/update/remove references. I click "Add", I select the reference I want and then "OK". Lo en behold, NOTHING! It simply won't add references (I tried adding several different ones). Specifically I'm trying to add the System.Configuration assembly.

when I am using the following code. the kill all batch file internally calls a vbs cript like this when a batch file is called using CreateProcess() which internaly calls a vbs script like this cscript //e:vbscript xyz.vbs which intends stops and starts a service in remote PC as follows. But the service is stopping but it is not starting event though it start command is used what could be the reason...
sCommandLine = "SC \"&strMachineName&" stop xyzService"
WScript.Echo(sCommandLine)
Set poProcess = WSHShell.Exec(sCommandLine)

Hi.
I'm developing a project where I'm looking after a service: Smart Card.
I'm checking if it is closed. If it is closed then I'm checking if it is Disabled. If it is Disabled then I'm changing its status to Automatic and I'm starting the service. If the service is closed but the status is disabled I'm just open it.
The problem is that on my computer everything is working good, but when I'm trying to use it on other computer, if the service is disabled then everything is fine, but for example if the service is automatic and closed then I'm trying to start it, but I
receive the error which is telling that I don't have permissions.
My questions are:
1.How it is possible to have permissions to change the status from disable to auto and to start the service, but not to start it if the status is already automatic?
2. How can I give the permissions just for that using the code?
Here is the code what I'm using:
Dim controller As New ServiceController("SCardSvr")
If controller.Status.Equals(ServiceControllerStatus.Stopped) Then
'' getServicesForDomainComputer(Environment.MachineName.ToString())
'' EnsureTransactionManagerStarted(False)
Dim obj As ManagementObject
Dim inParams, outParams As ManagementBaseObject
Dim Result As Integer
obj = New ManagementObject("\.
ootcimv2:Win32_Service.Name='SCardSvr'")
'Change the Start Mode to Automatic
If obj("StartMode").ToString = "Disabled" Then
'Get an input parameters object for this method
inParams = obj.GetMethodParameters("ChangeStartMode")
inParams("StartMode") = "Automatic"
'do it!
outParams = obj.InvokeMethod("ChangeStartMode", inParams, Nothing)
Result = Convert.ToInt32(outParams("returnValue"))
If Result <> 0 Then
Throw New Exception("ChangeStartMode method error code " & Result)
End If
End If
controller.Start()
End If

I have written my first service that checks the status of servers. I have used the statement System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(86400000), so that the service will run, then sleep for 24hrs before running again.
My problem is i want the service to run at 7am every morning, when i install and start the service it will run from the time i start it. I dont have access to required computer at 7am.
Is there a way of setting the service to run at 7am on the first run? Was thinking a Loop, or timer but dont want to be eating resources up while it is not necessary.

I have a project in which we would like to do the following :Install a service that perform several tasks. this would be put on Computer A and B.Another computer C serves as a witness; At start, only A is running because the work it performs cannot be duplicated;Should A fail, then B must start. C should be the one that verify is one is running or not;Sholud A return back up after a fail, then B still runs and A is on stand-by;Should B then fail, C start A services,And So On.Is it possible, if so how ? Both A and B have a SQL server 2008 on them but this part is taken care of for us.I tried stopping a service (that I know is running) and it dosn't seem to work.[code]In this case, strServiceName is "Communication Interface" which is a service I recently add and started manually.I am running under windows 7.

We create a window service that will launch multiple process of an application with different configuration. And application further communicate with sql server. It works fine when we start service manually from service manager. It launch all the process ( try with launching 3 process ). But when we test it by restart the machine and service launch automatically then it launch only one process third one. I check the event log in event viewer. I see the following message by MSSQL$MSSQLEXPRESS service
Login failed for user 'dduser'. Reason: Failed to open the explicitly specified database. [CLIENT: <local machine>]
one thing we also tried by delaying ( with thread sleep ) the code execution of service. Then by starting machine again , it launch 2 process , first one still not launch.

I created a custom windows service in Visual Basic using Visual Studios '05.
The service is on our server which is running Windows Server 2003. I have installed the service, and it runs perfectly when I go into Computer Management and Start the service manually.
I have created a batch file to start the service using the NET START command. Whenever I run the batch file, the service doesn't start. I get this message from the command prompt[code]...

I have developed several Windows Services applications which all use SQL server. In some occasions, the customer shuts down the server and then restarts it the following morning. But then, my service is started BEFORE SQL Server starts and, of course, fails.
In which order are the services started ?

In Visual Studio when I try to start a windows service project it tells me I cant because I have to use "NET Start" and so forth. I remember in VS 2003 that when I pressed play it started the service and stop stopped it. Is there any way that when I press play or start for that windows service project I can have this same functionality. What I currently do is install them using installutil and I put a pre-processor command with System.Diagnostics.Debug.Launch() when I have a compilation variable defined and when I use the service manager it shows me the window to select the debugger. Still this method is somewhat cumbersome.

I'm trying to create a windows service that read from a database and process some retrieved results then send a notification emails for users on my active directory.I need to install the service on a server which is running 24/7, so it can capture the changes that occurred on a database hosted on it ( SQL Server 2005 - Mixed security mode ), now after installing the service ( it's Ok, and the build is Ok ) I tried to start it - because i set it to run manually - a msg popped said that (The $$$ service on local computer started and then stopped, Some services stop automatically if they have no work to do ...) Now in OnStart I'm initializing the connections ( 2 connections on the same server ) I stored their connection strings into the application settings, and after preparing the connections I'm starting a timer with interval of 10000 millisecond to read from database to get some important values to start the service.
[code]...
After that I will start another timer to run another script to check the main database to process and send emails, the service failed to start because on event viewer it shows this error :Service cannot be started. System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Login failed for user 'ICTSIMIS-01-ZKA$' (domainComputer Name$) So if it's a login problem to the server, what should I do to grant the access to the server even without a user login, becasue I already tried all possible Accounts I think it need to be (LocalSystem or LocalService)

It works on my own computer where I have visual studio installed. I install the exe file with installutil and the service works fine. But when I install it on another computer where only the framework is present, I still can install it with installutil BUT I can't start it. I get something along this Could not start the Search service on Local computer. Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.[code]...

I need to get the user input for where they want the files that will be produced by my windows service to be stored.
I was thinking that i could do this by reading in the user's input to a variable in the on start event of my service? this variable is then later used in my xml writer.
