Error codes for Services.au3

[shornw]

I may be missing something very basic here. I am using Services.au3, and get error 6 when starting a service. I'm sure error 6 relates to a permissions (the test was deliberately run using an account with no admin access on the server) I have looked everywhere I can think of (including Google) but can't find descriptions for errors relating to this UDF. A list of relevant errorcode meanings would be helpful for more accurate error reporting.

$start = _Service_Start($sname, $computer)
If $start <> 1 Then Return FileWriteLine($log, $date & " " & $computer & " The start request sent to service " & $sname & " failed with error " & @error)

Any suggestions or pointers gratefully received

6 - The handle is invalid.

I think that the error is due to the OpenService() which returns 0. And why, you need to dig deeper.

I had a quick look at the source and it seems that the value of @error is returned by function _WinAPI_GetLastError.

Thanks for this Yashied. I can't get to the link atm (company surf control ) but I'll have a look later at home.

Error 6 could be an invalid handle, due to the lack of admin access (it is definitely admin access as the script runs OK with rights)

Thanks also, Water. Sorry, I must have been posting at the same time you were.
