I'm having a problem running applications like Arcserve2000(backup app), PcAnywhere10, Borland interbase 6.0 because when I log into my win2kserver I don't have the rights to start the services therefore the programs don't work.

I have win2k server (sp2). I log into with my account which is a part of domain admins and I've also added my account to the local administrative group in win2k server.

I keep getting this Access is Denied error when I try to start the apps (as shown above) services.

Does anyone have any ideas?

It sounds like the 'services' needed to run these programs need an account on which to run.
open the control panel, open administrative tools, then open services.

find the particular services of each of these programs, double-click on them, findthe 'log on' tab.

Here you will find the account the computer uses to start / run this service. Change this according to what you want. Often, you would want it as 'local system account'.

Best of luck

answer 1 is correct.
start with local admin rights.
Are you sure that there arent any more error messages in the eventviewer.
It's very uncommon that so many app's are having permission errors. Try install 1 of the app on another server.
Did youinstall the app's as the domain admin or as your user, some apps are sensitive to that.

Arcserv, being the backup application will be run by the backup operators account. It is a built in account in Windows. In the control panel under the services icon, if you double click the application, it will tell you if this service needs this special account to operate it.
Good luck!
