Error - Unable to open the service 'Tomcat6' on Windows 2003
Hi,
I have installed the Tomcat 6.0.20 on windows 2003 server. Which runs as
local system account. Tomcat services run fine.
Different user group login to that windows server for different purpose via
Remote Desktop.
If a user who is not administrator on the box login via Remote Desktop - The
user always gets the message that
*Application System Error*
*Access Denied*
*Unable to open the service 'Tomcat6'*
**
Which is annoying for the users. Once the user ignore the message user can
launch the tomcat home page and also webapp on that tomcat server. Is there
any way to avoid the message when login via remote desktop for non
administrator user?

That's the name of the service, not the name of the program being auto-run.

Search the registry for tomcat6w.exe (or just tomcat6).
Might also be something in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs (I think that's the right path for Win2K3, but I don't have one handy).

I just had to remove one on one of my servers (I create one per instance and just deleted an instance).
The registry path is HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run.
The default key name is "ApacheTomcatMonitor".

I don't really know, but I'll make a guess and suggest that you have a
look here :
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
(when you are logged-in as the user in question)
Or, if you are logged-in as an Administrator, maybe here :
HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
(and for each user under HKEY_USERS/)
I also think that when you install Tomcat, it gives you the option to
start this monitor or not. If so, de-install, re-install and choose "no".

Hi I am sure it is "Tomcat6"
Can you please explain the registry setting as I could not find auto-run for
Apache Software foundation.
Thanks

The message should say Tomcat6 - that's the name of the service that the unprivileged tomcat6w.exe program is trying to access.
> Someone please correct if this is incorrect.
Other than the initial question, it all looks quite reasonable.

Are you sure it says Tomcat6 and not Tomcat6w?
Here is what's probably happening:
Windows is trying to launch the Tomcat6w.exe (aka the Tomcat Monitor
system tray object) because it's in the "Run" section of the registry.
Since this tool allows changes to the registry, Windows probably
requires Admin rights to run it.
I had fits with this on Windows 2008 Server even for someone with admin
rights until I lessened the stupid security a bit.
You might have to edit your registry and remove the auto-run of
Tomcat6w.exe. You can still run it manually if you need it as an admin
from the menu.
Someone please correct if this is incorrect.
