[Otter]Server restart failed
-
Hi, I have a problem restarting the server via Otter after promoting Windows Server to a domain controller, Restart-Server generates an error: Server restart failed: The current user does not have permission to initiate a restart. The service is running on the system account. What is the cause of the problem?

Hi @Adam1 ,
The
Restart-Serveroperation is performed on the server itself, using the Inedo Agent or PowerShell Agent.Behind the scenes, the agent will just use the
advapi32.dll::InitiateShutdownWin32 API method, and that error string indicates that Windows is returningERROR_ACCESS_DENIEDwhen attempting to initiate the Shutdown. This is the same method thatshutdown.exeuses behind the scenes as well.So basically, just make sure that the agent process is running as an admin/system account.
Best,
Alana
