Can't start service - WMI Operation failure: AccessDenied

See original GitHub issue

Hello! Having problems with actual version on Windows 2012 R2. Successfully installed service for nginx.exe with default minimal config. Starts with SYSTEM account.

If I start service (under administrator rights) with “net start” I got: System error 5 has occurred. Access is denied.

If I start service with “WinSW.NET4.exe start” I got: 2017-04-21 11:35:01,236 INFO - Starting ServiceWrapper in the CLI mode 2017-04-21 11:35:01,518 FATAL - WMI Operation failure: AccessDenied WMI.WmiException: AccessDenied at WMI.WmiRoot.BaseHandler.CheckError(ManagementBaseObject result) at WMI.WmiRoot.InstanceHandler.Invoke(Object proxy, MethodInfo method, Object[] args) at winsw.WrapperService.Run(String[] _args, ServiceDescriptor descriptor) at winsw.WrapperService.Main(String[] args) Thanks, sukinsky

I have Windows server 2016 and had the same problem with permissions(even I have admin rights on this server). I solving it by similar instructions

Create node with Remote root directory: C:\agents\agent_xx
Lunch node via web
Attempt to install as service via web (this part is failing but it generate jenkins-slave.exe in C:\agents\agent_xx\ folder)
Open command prompt as admin
sc.exe create Jenkins_agent_xx binPath= "C:\agents\agent_xx\jenkins-slave.exe"
Close windows where you lunch node, to take node offline
Go to services and change the properties (I would recommend change loging details to the same user as run jenkins and run services automatically)
Start service and enjoy 😃

HI @sukinsky ,

I had the similar issue that i fixed with below 2 steps:

Added user in to admin group
goto your downloaded jenkins-slave.exe Application file. goto properties -> compatibility -.> check run as administrator Then i retried installing jenkins as service resolved the issue. Make sure to click ok on prompt where service will be run as admin.
