Question

I have set a password for the ALERTER SERVICE now I want to start the service using that password? Any Idea ?????

Answer 1

are you talking about the netstat command through the run box that shows you all internet activity on your computer?

Answer 2

How did you do that?? And why would you want to?

The Alerter service runs under the Local Service account. You cannot set a password for that "account".

If you changed the settings so that the service will use a user account it probably won't run properly. However, if you want to give it a go, you'll need to use the RUNAS commad to start the service from the command line. There are two ways to do that:

NOTE: In the following, is either a valid local account on the machine or a domain account in domain\username format. That account will need to have administrator rights on the local machine.

1. Start a command prompt using RUNAS. Start...Run. Type:
runas /user: "cmd.exe" and press Enter. Type the password for at the prompt. This will open a command prompt under that user's context. Run the Net Start command from that command prompt.

2. Open a command prompt. Type:

runas /user: "net start alerter" and press Enter. Type the password for at the prompt.
