Hi,
I am getting this error Cannot open Service Control Manager on computer ''. This operation might require other privileges while using ServiceController to retrieve the services of remote machine. I have administrative previleges for remote machine..
Code..

C#

ServiceController[] lFnGetServicesInServer(string lStrServer)
        {
            try
            {
                ServiceController[] lArrObjServiceController = null;
                System.Security.Principal.WindowsImpersonationContext impersonationContext = null;
                impersonationContext = ((System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity)User.Identity).Impersonate();
                lArrObjServiceController = ServiceController.GetServices(lStrServer.Trim());
                return lArrObjServiceController;
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                throw ex;
            }
        }
        #endregion

    }

Any Ideas on this authentication plzz…

Solution 1

The computer name appears to be empty ('').
You can put a break point on the method signature and then check if the correct server name values are being passed in.

Server and Client machine should have same user account, to access the Service List.

I would suggest,you add your comments in comments section rather than adding as answer.That will send out a notification to person who has provided you answer.I ran your code in my system & would like to add my observation here.When I gave a valid server name it works fine.At the same time when server name is not existing ie giving a wrong server it throws the same exception what you are getting.hence,double check if server name is correctly passed & your system is offline or not at this moment.
