Change Windows Service Priority
- by SchlaWiener
I have a windows service that needs to run with High Priority.
At the end of the day I want to use this script to modify the priority after service startup:
Const HIGH = 256
strComputer = "."
strProcess = "BntCapi2.exe"
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colProcesses = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Select * from Win32_Process Where Name = '" & strProcess & "'")
For Each objProcess in colProcesses
objProcess.SetPriority(HIGH)
Next
But currently I am not able to change the priority, even with the taskmanger.
The taskmananger throws an "Access Denied" error, but I am logged on as administrator and I changed the user account of the service to administrator, too.
I still get the "access denied" message when trying to change the priority. Any ideas what permission I need to do that?
