Sure , plz post ur update in case you get some break through in this problem .

Hi, I am facing problem in starting an application registered as a service on Windows 2008 server. Given below are the details steps : Code snippet used to register a service : // Open a connection to the service control manager on // the local machine. srvManager = OpenSCManager( NULL, NULL, SC_MANAGER_ALL_ACCESS ); // If can't get a connection, we have to return. if (srvManager == NULL) { Debug(LDAP_DEBUG_TRACE, "getCurrentProcessSID: OpenSCManager failed errno=%d.\n", GetLastError()); return ldtr_rc(LDAP_OPERATIONS_ERROR); } dwStartType = SERVICE_AUTO_START; // Now try to create the service. ptrService = CreateService( // pointer to the service control manager. srvManager, // The name of the service. service_name, // The display name description of the service. description, SERVICE_ALL_ACCESS, SERVICE_WIN32_OWN_PROCESS, // If the service is auto started or now. dwStartType, SERVICE_ERROR_NORMAL, // The command to run and parameters to pass it. command, NULL, NULL, NULL, // The user id to run the service under. userid, // The password of the id to run the service under. password); Value of the parameter passed to the above mentioned function is : command : c:\diradm.cmd --> script used in to invoke the require binary . userid : NULL Password : NULL Service name : diradm_xyz description: Service used to start the server On running this piece of code , I see a service registered under Administrator -> Services I tried to run the service from the Services panel , but I see the error on the console as : Error 1053, The service did not responded to the start or control request in a timely fashion . I have debug statement in the diradmd.cmd file which should be redirected to a log file. It seems that diradm.cmd is not called by service registered ! The strange part is that the same piece of code works fine on Windows 2003 server so what I am missing for Windows 2008 ? Note in case of Win 2003 , I have set the dependency on Lan Manager and here I have passes it as NULL. Looking forward for your suggestion , Thanks, Romil
