Re: [BUGS] no sufficient privileges to start system service
To strat the service on windows, the user (postgres, incase you didn't change during installation) needs to be have administrative privilege and service has to run as that user. You can use Run as in windows to run the particular executable or change the user in services.

You can use Run as in windows to run the particular executable or change the user in services. the SERVICE account ('postgres') needs only 'run as service' privileges. the user doing the start/stop needs admin privs. -- john r pierceN 37, W 122 santa cruz ca mid-left coast -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
