JD, I had this exact same issue, you'll probably find that flashboards isn't starting up either. The issue was that the java bin directory was not added to the PATH environment variable. BMC Support insisted that the java install would do that, but it didn't happen in any of my environments. Once I added that to the PATH variable, all was good. The reason that it works from the command line is that the batch file sets the path.
Hope that helps, Thad On Mon, Apr 1, 2013 at 12:51 PM, JD Hood <hood...@gmail.com> wrote: > ** > All, > > Environment: v8.1 ARS/ITSM on Windows > > Has anyone encountered a situation where outbound email is configured for > simple, unassuming, plain-jane SMTP (no user or pass needed) and the email > service (installed out of the box) will not start? > > I've tried setting the service to run as a domain user account > (permissioned for MAPI), a local admin account and as a domain admin > account.
