I don’t think that should be a deferred CA.

If it is indeed (because of UAC in Vista), it could be very frustrating and undesirable effects in other custom actions also.

 

Scheduling CA (immediate CA, SchedServiceConfig) uses (or should use) non-administrative privileges -

SC_MANAGER_CONNECT and SERVICE_QUERY_CONFIG rights does not require administrative privileges (it should not).

 

Only in deferred CA are used SERVICE_START/STOP, etc ., which can be “non-impersonated” custom action.

 

sc.exe in Vista (5472) does work fine for querying services and does not work for starting/stopping services without privileged access. If the current SchedServiceConfig does not work fine, it may require review for Vista UAC friendliness, not for changing it to deferred CA.

 

Regards,

 

Chesong Lee

Does the service control manager (I assume that’s what SCM stands for) require admin access now?  If it does, we’ll need to tag the SchedServiceConfig CA as non-impersonated.

Right now, SchedServiceConfig is an immediate CA. This might be kinda tricky...
