Cannot Control a Service - Access Denied - WHAT?

Hello all, hope you were able to stay cool this weekend.  I figure the
only reason to come to work today is for the free air conditioning!

 

On to business:

 

I have written a service that I now need to write some sort of
administration program for.  In my service, I have created an event log
which for now I am using as my debugger.  I have overridden all of the
standard stuff: OnStart, OnStop, OnContinue, OnCustomCommand, OnPause,
OnShutDown, OnSessionChange <-- Don't know what this is.

 

In my Admin Project I have a simple form that, using a Service
Controller can Stop, Start, Pause and Resume the service, but when I try
to send the service a custom command I get the error: Cannot control
DBAuthentication service on computer '.'.  The exception details are
below:

 

System.InvalidOperationException was unhandled

  Message="Cannot control DBAuthentication service on computer '.'."

  Source="System.ServiceProcess"

  StackTrace:

My question(s) are:

 

Is there something wrong with my service or with my Admin Program?

How can I fix this?

 

Thanks in advance,
