Start or Stop the Scheduler in Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008

If you are running the Windows Client on Vista or Windows Server 2008 / 2008 R2 and User Account Control (UAC) is enabled and you cannot start the Scheduler service; or if you have the Application Server installed on the same machine as the Windows Client; start the Scheduler service in one of the following ways:

Note: Windows Server 2008 R2 is supported only for the standalone Windows Client and not for the Application Server.

• If possible, log on to Windows with an Administrator ID that has permission to start services.

  Doing so allows you to start and stop the Scheduler service as outlined in the topic Start or Stop the Scheduler.

  Once the Scheduler has been started, any user who logs on to the Windows Client computer will be able to schedule output reports. However, non-administrator users will be unable to stop the scheduler from within the Windows Client.

• If the UAC option is enabled, and permission access tokens are turned on, there are two ways to start or stop the Scheduler service:
  • Right-click the Windows Client executable (or any shortcut to the Windows Client, such as the one in the Start Menu) and select Run as Administrator from the pop-up menu. Doing so allows you to start and stop the Scheduler service as outlined in the topic Start or Stop the Scheduler.
  • Use the Services section of the MMC to start or stop the scheduler. To access the Services section, from the Start menu, select All Programs, Accessories, then Run. Enter "services.msc" and click OK.

Note: A User Account Control dialog might appear. If the dialog appears, you need administrative privileges to change the status of the Scheduler service. Comply with the User Account Control dialog to continue.
