RE: [SA-list] countfiles problems

[Brent G. Ozar]

Is the service running under the same account that you’re logged in with?  Meaning, if you’re logged in with your personal account, is the service using that same account?  If it’s not, stop the service, change it to your account, and then start the service again, and see if it works.  If it does, then it’s a rights issue.  If it doesn’t, then it’s something else.   Brent     -------------------------------- Brent Ozar - UniFocus -------------------------------- "Somewhere, they're meeting on a pinhead  Calling you an angel, calling you the nicest things..."         She's An Angel, They Might Be Giants -----Original Message----- From: Kirby T.

I've also tried running SA as an application and also as a service with the same results.

I've tried running SA as a straight application also with the same response. Basically, I seem to be able to get a correct response from the externalerrorlevel program but I get a 0 response when run inside of SA so I don't see how it could be a rights problem. I was hoping this was something you've seen before. At 05:21 PM 8/28/2002, you wrote: Could it be a rights problem?

Kenyon Sent: Wed Aug 28 11:13 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [SA-list] countfiles problems Help!!! I've been using countfiles as an external check with no problem for several months now but it suddenly stopped working inside of SA.  When I run the external CheckErrorLevel.exe I get a returned value but when run within SA, it returns a 0.  Same box, the only difference is inside of SA v.s. CheckErrorLevel. I'm still running 3.1.1043 on an NT Enterprise server box and am checking a Novell Directory.  I'm using client 4.80 which is pretty old but nothing has changed on that system in quite a while. Any ideas? Thanks, Kirby T. Kenyon
