Fails to stop service

Post by adft01 »

Hi

I have setup a backup task that requires a service to be stopped before certain data can be copied. Previous versions of Cobian backup would do this but I have discovered Cobian Reflector does not unless run as Administrator.

I have Reflector run tasks on computer boot and don't know how to set to run as Administrator in that scenario.

Please advise.

Thank you
André Flanagan

A process can't stop a service unless running as an administrator. The easiest way would be to run the program as a service is possible or to use impersonation.

As a service (under the System account it should be able to stop and starts services as far as I know).
