Jac,

For each service you want to query you must set the permissions separatly.

You have only set security on the SCM which allows you to get a list of

services. You have not set the permission to query the service itself.

The permissions can be set via either group policy or via sc using the

service name.

See my post "How is security setup between the scm database and services"

Regards

Kris
