Start Stopped Automatic Services. Does Not work on 2021.1.29.12

Start Stopped Automatic Services. Does Not work on 2021.1.29.12 for me
If I use this command as remote command as an alternative it doesn’t work either:
WMIC SERVICE where (state=’stopped’ and startmode=’auto’) CALL startservice

I go back to 2020.4.25.16.49 Version, works perfectly every time
Works fine with “Start Stopped Automatic Services”.
2020.4.25.16.49
Same Command saved in the system
Works fine too
WMIC SERVICE where (state=’stopped’ and startmode=’auto’) CALL startservice

This is for all services.. IF i have 7 Services Stopped v2020 Works v2021 does not start any,

v2020 Will start all services on any server, V2021 doesn doe work at all on any. I have tried different versions of PSXEXEC too.

2020.4.25.16.49 Which Works

Just to add to this, I tested on another Site, Test domain Lab, different domain, different servers etc, Exactly the same thing…..

What is a pain is that I cannot open the bps file as it says it is a new / or been upgraded so had to start a new file using the old version.

Please look at ‘Tools > Settings > Remote Execution > Remote Execution Context’

Try the following ‘Remote Execution Context’ settings for ‘Remote process/command’ and ‘Remote process/command (logged output)’

SYSTEM
SYSTEM + interactive
Elevated token
Elevated token + interactive

Do any of the 4 options work?

Hi, thanks for Prompt Reply, this seems to be my finding

‘Remote process/command’
SYSTEM > No
SYSTEM + interactive > No
Elevated token > No
Elevated token + interactive > NO

Remote process/command (logged output)
SYSTEM > Yes
SYSTEM + interactive > Yes
Elevated token > Yes
Elevated token + interactive > No

Thanks

The command runs under “Remote process/command (logged output)” not “Remote process/command”, so that’s expected/good. I just wasn’t certain if you were using that command for every try, so I wanted to cover all possibilities just to be safe. I would suggest leaving “Remote process/command (logged output)” set to ‘Elevated token’, and you should be good to go.

Thanks.

Ok great, changed and working as expected.

Thanks for your help and fast response. 🙂
