Service Start/Stop Action Not Functioning with VariableName



  • I am trying to use a variable to specify a service name when I am stopping and starting windows service. The replacement looks like it is working but the process is failing with the follow error details. Should variables be able to be used?

    Product: BuildMaster

  • This behavior is supported, yes; however, starting/stopping services requires Admin privileges. Does the user hosting the BuildMaster service have this?
