Control NT Service failing - FB7

FinalBuilder Discussion
1

Hi, I'm having trouble using the Control NT service action in FinalBuilder 7.

I have project level variables set, so this is how it looks:


Service Name: %ServiceName%

Computer name: %ServerBaseName%%CurrentServer%


ServiceName equates to "Usage Data Service" and ServerBaseName is "WEBTEST" and CurrentServer is an integer depending on which iteration of the loop it's in. 

When I try to run just the action, it errors out and says that "The specified service does not exist as an installed service". I am pointing this to Windows Server 2003 machines, the service is installed on each of them, and I even copied and pasted the service name to make sure I didn't have a typo. I've tried it with and without "" marks around the variable. I can run a command line "sc stop" without any problems. 


Help! :)

Hi Andy

I just tried it here with a server 2003 machine from my windows 7 machine and it worked fine. You need to use the ServiceName, and not the DisplayName of the service. The ServiceName will not have spaces in it.
