wntSvcCreate Error 531 Invalid Parameter
Question:
Everytime I attempt to install a service where specify the domain\username and password for the ServiceStartName|Password parameters I get "Extender Error 531: Invalid Parameter".Unfortunately, it doesn't state which parameter is invalid, but I'm guessing it involves the username/password parameters because this does not work:
sDrive = "D"
sCurrClient = "\\computername"
svcStrVals = StrCat("RMAService", "|", "KS Remote Monitoring Agent", "|", "%sDrive%:\rma-win\rma.exe /service", "|", "", "|", "Domain\Administrator", "|", "Password")
svcType = 256|16
svcStartType = 2
svcErrControl = 0
svcNumVals = StrCat(svcType, @TAB, svcStartType, @TAB, svcErrControl)
wntSvcCreate(sCurrClient, svcStrVals, svcNumVals, "", "")
However, if I change
svcStrVals = StrCat("RMAService", "|", "KS Remote Monitoring Agent", "|", "%sDrive%:\rma-win\rma.exe /service", "|", "", "|", "Domain\Administrator", "|", "Password")
To
svcStrVals = StrCat("RMAService", "|", "KS Remote Monitoring Agent", "|", "%sDrive%:\rma-win\rma.exe /service", "|", "", "|", "LocalSystem", "|", "")
I have no problems whatsoever. Notice, all I have done is change "Domain\Administrator" to "LocalSystem" and blank out the password.
What parameter is invalid here? I would just leave the service installed as localsystem, but I may need the service to have network access rights or domain admin rights in the near future.
Answer:
You specified the service type to interactive(256). And yet you want it to run under a specific user account so that it can have network access.svcType = 256|16A service cannot have both network access using a user account and have interactive desktop access at the same time. Remove 256 from the service type:
svcType = 16
