That says it all right there. You (and/or your user) have success. your coworker (and/or her user (ID/acct/profile)) does not have success. your coworker 'only' has success when she restarts windows server. when restarting the windows server, the service must be configured to 'automatic', and a clean restart usually = clean (re)start of tomcat...I would assume. This answer[1] on stackoverflow may hint on a solution and/or cause of the error that your coworker is experiencing. I have tomcat 7.0.47 (via tomee+) running on Windows 2008 R2 64-bit with jdk1.7.0_45, and I only login to the server with one user ID, and I use tomcat7w.exe to start/stop service, manually, but service is configured to start automatically when server is (re)started. The user ID that I always use...was also responsible for adding tomcat/tomee as Windows service. Who or what user (ID) usually has success start/stopping tomcat manually via tomcat7w.exe or via Windows Services window/app? Was your coworker able to start/stop tomcat in the past with no issues? if so, what changed? new install of tomcat? new config of tomcat? different user (ID) added tomcat as windows service? ...
