net start service - System 5 error (Access denied)
Posted by Michael Sçheer on February 25th, 2004


Hello

It seems I cannot start or install new services and I don't know
why. Its now once again installing services/ starting a service
fails, on W2KSP3 as Administrator.

Latest try: http://www.scherrer.cc/crypt/

On installation, it does the services settings to Registry, works
fine:

| [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\FileDisk]
| "ErrorControl"=dword:00000001
| "Start"=dword:00000001
| "Type"=dword:00000001
|
| [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\FileDisk\Parameters]
| "NumberOfDevices"=dword:00000004

It copies its dll, the service, to \system32\drivers\ --> fine. But
then:

[net start filedisk/ sc start filedisk]
| System 5 error occurred. Access denied.

[sc query filedisk]
| SERVICE_NAME: filedisk
| TYPE : 1 KERNEL_DRIVER
| STATE : 1 STOPPED
| (NOT_STOPPABLE,NOT_PAUSABLE,IGNORES_SHUTDOWN)
| WIN32_EXIT_CODE : 5 (0x5)
| SERVICE_EXIT_CODE : 0 (0x0)
| CHECKPOINT : 0x0
| WAIT_HINT : 0x0

I saw this problem before and couldnt solve it. An installation
program failed when trying to install a service.

What I checked: Filesystem: The dll in \drivers has the same
(inherited) rights as all other dlls there.

In regedt32, keys have the same (inherited) rights as all others
below "\services"

Regmon from sysinternals.com gives me some "BUFTOOSMALL" when
accessing relevant registry keys.

I have no more ideas what I could do... TIA.
