WinSW.CommandException: Failed to open the service control manager database. Access is denied

This is not an issue 99% of the time, but seems to resurface every other weekend when SQB app or database server is patched. As a result, I’m forced to manually restart SQB service (which already appears to be running). Once I do this and wait couple minutes, only then can I access SQB.

Why does this happen, and how do I resolve this with a configuration?

Hi,

Based on the error message in the title, this looks like an OS-level permissions question.

If there’s nothing in your server logs, then you should talk to your sys admins.

 
HTH,
