Overview
Starting and Stopping the Scheduler Service is required to manage the Scheduler's Appointments. This is most often completed by users with administrative access to the workstation hosting the Scheduler. In this article we explain the steps to take to be able to Start and Stop the Scheduler Service without needing Admin Access.
Testing Your Access
If you do not have access to Start and Stop the Scheduler Service you will see the Access Denied result indicated below. A simple test is to launch the Command Prompt and enter the following commands:
Note: The commands will vary based for Ontario Reports and VDM users. Make sure to use the correct commands for the version you are using.
BridgeWorks VDM Access Test Commands
net start "Bridgeworks VDM Scheduler Service"
net stop "Bridgeworks VDM Scheduler Service"
Ontario Reports Access Test Commands
net start "Ontario Reports Scheduler Service"
net stop "Ontario Reports Scheduler Service"
Granting Non Admin Access to Stop and Start the Scheduler Service:
1. Open Command Prompt and search for cmd / command prompt
2. Type: whoami /user and hit enter.
3. Copy your SID. (Highlight and press Ctrl + C)
4. Have someone with Admin Privileges enter your SID into the following command after running Command Prompt as Admin. (replace the orange text with your SID)
If you use BridgeWorks VDM:
sc sdset "BridgeWorks VDM Scheduler Service" "D:(A;;CCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRRC;;;SY)(A;;CCDCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRSDRCWDWO;;;BA)(A;;CCLCSWLOCRRC;;;IU)(A;;CCLCSWLOCRRC;;;SU)(A;;RPWPCR;;; PASTE SID HERE)S:(AU;FA;CCDCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRSDRCWDWO;;;WD)"
If you use Ontario Reports:
sc sdset "Ontario Reports Scheduler Service" "D:(A;;CCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRRC;;;SY)(A;;CCDCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRSDRCWDWO;;;BA)(A;;CCLCSWLOCRRC;;;IU)(A;;CCLCSWLOCRRC;;;SU)(A;;RPWPCR;;; PASTE SID HERE)S:(AU;FA;CCDCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRSDRCWDWO;;;WD)"
Example: sc sdset "BridgeWorks VDM Scheduler Service" "D:(A;;CCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRRC;;;SY)(A;;CCDCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRSDRCWDWO;;;BA)(A;;CCLCSWLOCRRC;;;IU)(A;;CCLCSWLOCRRC;;;SU)(A;;RPWPCR;;; S-1-5-21-864796884-381427852-1834007502-1001)S:(AU;FA;CCDCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRSDRCWDWO;;;WD)"
If your Admin wants to give permission to all authenticated users:
sc sdset "BridgeWorks VDM Scheduler Service" "D:AR(A;;CCDCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRSDRCWDWO;;;BA) (A;;LCRPWP;;;AU)(A;;CCLCSWLOCRRC;;;IU)(A;;CCDCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRSDRCWDWO;;;SY) S:(AU;FA;CCDCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRSDRCWDWO;;;WD)"
5. If done correctly your Admin should see the following.
Optional: Go back into your Command Prompt and try to Start/Stop the Service.
Start Command for VDM users: net start "BridgeWorks VDM Scheduler Service"
Start Command for Ontario Reports users: net start "Ontario Reports Scheduler Service"
Stop Command for VDM users: net stop "BridgeWorks VDM Scheduler Service"
Stop Command for Ontario Reports users: net stop "Ontario Reports Scheduler Service"
6. Open VDM and go into Settings.
7. Set the Show Service Commands setting in the Scheduler section to True.
8. Go into the Scheduler and click the Service tab.
9. Test the Start/Stop buttons for the Service. If the Service is running you will see Calendar is Read Only (Service) If the Service is stopped this will disappear.
