So I am trying to use Powershell to start a windows service. I have the service installed just fine, but when I call Start-Service -Name $name I am recieving the following error.

Start-Service : Service 'IncidentManagementService (IncidentManagementService)' cannot be started due to the following error: Cannot start service IncidentManagementService on computer '.'.

I have powershell running as an Administrator and I also tried going under the properties of the .exe file and checking "run as admin" to no avail.

If anyone could give me a clear reason as to why the service is not starting it would be much appreciated.

  • Are you able to start the services fine from the UI (services.msc)? – boeprox Jul 02 '14 at 18:11
  • From the Computer Management services screen? I tried running from there and I received Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start request in a timely fashion – Foster Jul 02 '14 at 18:58
  • @Foster In that case, have you looked at the event log? – Ci3 Jul 02 '14 at 22:09
