Hello everyone!

I am having an issue with the above code. when sc.Pause() runs it gives me an exception of

'Cannot open Dhcp Service on computer '.' inner Exception Win32Exception: Access is denied

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks,

I figured out one piece of the puzzle. I changed the app.manifest file to run in

highestAvailable

Now it throws an exception of

'Cannot pause Dhcp service on computer '.' Inner Exception Win32Exception: The request control is not valid for this service
