network acces of windowsXP services
Posted by Josip Mihelko on October 16th, 2003


hi there everybody
i have 2 programs running as services (developed with vb6 and
installed via apptoservice.exe). one is a quite simple
server-application and the other one is intended as an updater-service
giving me the ability to stop the server, copy the new version of the
exe and restart the server again.
everything works as long as i execute the updater-prog from the vb-ide
or as an compiled exe. but as soon as i try to run the updater as a
service copying the file does not work anymore. i tried several ways
to copy the file but nothing works so i believe the problem lies in
the access rights of the service. the services are run under a special
account created for this purpose having local admin-rigths, which
means it should actually have reights to access the network.
please give me any hints where i can find information about access
rigths and/or restrictions to services...
thanks in advance
josip
