I am having issues using SC to start or stop services remotely on Server 2008 via command line. The server I am working with is on our test domain while I am working from my local machine on the company domain.

First I log in to the server with the following command:

NET USE \\SERVER\IPC$ PASSWORD /user:DomainOrServer\Administrator

Logging in with this command is successful

Next I attempt to stop the service:

SC \\SERVER STOP SERVICE

The error I get when I attempt to stop the service is as follows:

C:\Users\me>SC \\SERVER STOP SERVICE
[SC] OpenService FAILED 5:

Access is denied.

UAC is disabled. I do not have any problems running these commands against a Server 2003 machine that stops the same service.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Can you run those commands if you login locally on the machine? Any errors in the event log on the remote server? – Nixphoe Apr 12 '11 at 16:25
Yes, running the commands locally on the machine works fine. I have not seen anything in event viewer about this issue. – Nick Apr 12 '11 at 16:47
Can you run that same script logged in to a different server on your test domain? – Nixphoe Apr 12 '11 at 17:23
Nixphoe, I am able to start and stop the services remotely from a different user on the same domain. I used the same Server 2003 server I mentioned in my original description where I was able to start and stop services from my local machine. Is there any different configuration I need to do in Server 2008 to mimic the permissions in 2003? – Nick Apr 13 '11 at 13:59
I just tested this from a windows 2003 server to a windows 2008 server and it worked without any issue. I think your issue has to do with the cross domain environment. That was the main purpose of trying it from another server on your test domain. – Nixphoe Apr 13 '11 at 14:31
