Service Manager Disabled - Vista Business

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have started a clean installation of Business One on a Windows Vista Business environment. I have installed SQL 2005 Standard Edition SP2 and then installed the Server Component for SBO. After installing the Server Tools from SBO 2007A PL8 i cannot seem to start any of my services. All the buttons on my service manager are "Greyed Out" therefore cannot import a licence file, cannot start the licence server etc...

Has anyone experiance a similar problem, or am I missing something?

Please help....

Regards

Hi,

second option is to log on as "administrator". Not a user with admin-right, try administrator login.

This solved this issue for us.

The user I tried on was local admin, but didn't solve the problem. Are there any differences between the administrator user account and a user that i a local admin?

There are differences. Even with local admin rights the rights are restricted.

It is the new policy of MS 😕

I'm experiencing the same problem.

I haven't gone around to try this yet, but I think there might be some issues around the vista UAC. I'll post back if I figure out what to do.

If anyone else could post their experience it would great. Any experience around vista could help too...

Issue solved!!!

By disabling the UAC you are able to use/configure the SBO Service manager.

Hi,

Excuse my ignorance, but what is the UAC?

User account controll (UAC)

Go to controlpanel - user accounts and you will see a link to activate and deactivate UAC
