No messages in the remote
eventlog.
If I just put an alert to Execute Command and
put cmd.exe in the command to execute box and after the cmd prompt is
opened, I go to the cmd prompt that was opened by SA running as a service
and type SHUTDOWN -R -M \\computername
I get a message that says: "A required
privilege is not held by the client.
If I open a cmd prompt on the same system by
type cmd at the Run menu and then type the above command it works
fine.
Another thing I noticed if I enter the command
"net localgroup" in the cmd prompt spawned by SA I get this:
System error 1312 has occurred.
A specified logon session does not exist. It
may alread have been terminated.
I know it has something to do with the rights
that the SA service has. I really need to be able to sent REBOOTs from
SA, but so far looks like the only way I can get it to work is to NOT run SA
as a service!
Any further ideas?

check the eventlog of the remote system to see what message you
get...
dirk.
There are no errors, just an entry that
says Sending reboot command to server name
If I run Servers Alive as an application,
it works fine.
Just has the problem with running as a
service.

Do you have logging enabled under setup? If so what does
the log show? If not turn on logging please and let us know what
the log says. It should give some error number which will help
us debug.
I put in the info in the format
domain\user and then password, and it still will not
work.

there should be a check box to authenticate before issuing
the command. If you put the proper account info in there
then SA will execute with the correct
permissions.
We have Servers Alive running as a
service in XP and have the Local system account checked with the
Interact with desktop check. We have a check that needs to
restart a W2000 computer and the Execute command for Restart
does not work.
So, we used a batch file that
issues the shutdown.exe command. It will work when you
test it from a command prompt, but from SA, it will not
work.
We found from further testing, that
the issue has to do with the Local System Account not having the
rights to issue the command. If you run SA as a desktop
application, both the SA Reboot NT/W2K Server command and the
external batch file running the shutdown.exe work
perfectly. Neither will work when SA is running as a
service.
My question is, can I give the
Local System Account rights to use these commands, and if so,
HOW?
