This could very well be enterprise (3M) blocking this, but wanted to make sure before I gave up!.
I tried installing getting OttoDeploy etc last year, but ran into some enterprise firewall domain issues. we now have new servers with full cert etc , so thought I would try again !

Hey John,

Thanks for giving it another try! Is OttoFMS already installed on the server? It might be a permissions issue if you don’t have permission to stop that service.

That’s very possible Kyle, let me dive into it and see what I can find out.
Thanks for the prompt reply!

Resolved - Ran Powershell as Administrator! worked like a charm ( this is what happens when a Mac guy has to admin a windows server :slight_smile:
thanks again for your assistance

No problem, glad you got it working!
