How to start a remote Proservice with PCCMD
SUMMARY: How to start Proservice by using PCCMD.
Knowledge Base number: 19038
This document applies to: V8-V9 on Windows NT
Version and Release Number: 8.2A and greater
INTRODUCTION:
The purpose of this knowledgebase, is to explain how to start a data
-base server on the machine1 from machine2 by using "pccmd" command.
First some practical things regarding permissions.
STEP BY STEP DETAILS:
The user accessing the remote host needs to have permissions to log
on and use the computer, this is checked in the USER MANAGER (FOR
DOMAINS) --> POLICIES --> USER RIGHTS.
The user or group where the user is a member of should be added to;
RIGHT: Access this computer from network.
To check that the user has indeed been granted the right, log on to
the remote host using the users name and password.
It is also vital that the rights on the remote host has been correctly
set up, so if any rights have been assigned the registry or files
these have to accommodate the user.
If permissions are changed then it might be necessary to kick out the
users logged on to the remote host so that they can be validated
using the new information. This is done from the server manager.
The only users that are able to start and stop ProService are
ADMINISTRATOR or members of the administrators group, members
of the Power user group, the LOCAL SYSTEM account and the account
to whom the LOG ON AS has been granted.
(The LOCAL SYSTEM ACCONT on the local host will not be able to
access the network, as it has no password.)
The ProControl Access Group found in the Options folder within
ProControl gives the possibility to give access to any group or user
and is another way of increasing the security. So this has to be
checked if the user is unable to start and stop a database.
Some special accounts like GUEST will not be able to use the
ProControl on a remote host because of the special security that has
been set for the account.
With the above things checked it should now be possible to start
the Proservice on a remote host.
Open a MS-DOS Prompt and go to the directory where you have Progress
installed, for example:
C:\PROGRESS\DLC\BIN>
and execute the following command:
pccmd \\machine1 "Proservice:Proservice for 8.3B" start
where machine1 is the remote server, and "Proservice for 8.3A" is the
exact name you will see in Control Panel, Services.
The command used for stopping the server is:
pccmd \\machine1 "Proservice:Proservice for 8.3A" stop
