NFS & Portmap on Media Server

[BarakatiA]

Gyus,

After installing Network File Service on the media Server I went to CMD to start the Portmap service but unfortunate I got the following error

c:\>net start portmap
System error 5 has occurred.

Access is denied.

c:\>sc config portmap start= auto
[SC] OpenService FAILED 5:

Access is denied.

I know that Portmap used port 111; this port is not used by any other application

Regards,

What O/S?

Is it Windows 2008, did you open the command with "run as administrator"?

[Nicolai · Accepted solution]

If it's 2008 you need to start the service as administrator.

Start - command promt - Right click -"Run as administrator"

Please share all the steps that you have performed up to this point? (As well as info requested by Andy, Nicolai and Riaan.)

I did all the tasks in order to GRT backup to the new Media Server which is

• Install Network File System services.
• Disable the NFS Client from Services.
• Disable the NFS Server from Services.
• Run CMD as Administrator then type " Net start Portmap " & " sc config portmap start= auto".

Media Server installed in top of Windows 2008 R2.
