"error connecting to proservice" (1385) from ProControl

INTRODUCTION:
When trying to stop proservice OR starting a db from within
ProControl gives error:
Error connecting to proservice (1385)
However using command line to start the db works, AND
manually starting the service and the db's works.

WHY YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS:
This is a thing that can be avoided by changing user rights on
the OS.

PROCEDURAL APPROACH:
Log on as admin
Install progress
Startup ProControl
Start proservice
Stopping proservice OR starting a db will give the above
mentioned error

From here there is only one thing to do, killing the process
form the task manager.


As it is you should be able to do:
Dos box
Netstart "service name"
Netstop "service name"

And you should be able to do:
Dos box
Netstart "service name"
pccmd databases "<database name>" start
+ stopping db and service

The reason for this working from within ProControl is down to
user rights. In the User Manager, check under your
Username/User Properties/Groups, here you should be in
"Administrators" and/or "Power Users". Now in
User Manager/Policies/User Rights? in here the accounts of
"Administrators" & "Power User", should have the "Right" set to
"Access this computer from network". This will solve this issue.
