Are you sure it says Tomcat6 and not Tomcat6w? Here is what's probably happening: Windows is trying to launch the Tomcat6w.exe (aka the Tomcat Monitor system tray object) because it's in the "Run" section of the registry. Since this tool allows changes to the registry, Windows probably requires Admin rights to run it. I had fits with this on Windows 2008 Server even for someone with admin rights until I lessened the stupid security a bit.
You might have to edit your registry and remove the auto-run of Tomcat6w.exe. You can still run it manually if you need it as an admin from the menu. Someone please correct if this is incorrect. -----Original Message----- From: bhavik shah [mailto:bhavik...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, November 11, 2009 1:53 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Error - Unable to open the service 'Tomcat6' on Windows 2003 Hi, I have installed the Tomcat 6.0.20 on windows 2003 server. Which runs as local system account. Tomcat services run fine. Different user group login to that windows server for different purpose via Remote Desktop. If a user who is not administrator on the box login via Remote Desktop - The user always gets the message that *Application System Error* *Access Denied* *Unable to open the service 'Tomcat6'* ** Which is annoying for the users. Once the user ignore the message user can launch the tomcat home page and also webapp on that tomcat server. Is there any way to avoid the message when login via remote desktop for non administrator user? ******************************* NOTICE ********************************* This message is intended for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed and may contain information that is privileged, confidential, and exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
