CF11 Fresh Install - Configure Server never executes - "Interactive service" error...

Nothing happens.

Running on Windows Server 2012 - looking at the server events, I see this:

The ColdFusion 11 .NET Service service is marked as an interactive service.  However, the system is configured to not allow interactive services.  This service may not function properly.

This is an existing server, how do I get past this?

Thanks,


NALEX

    I re-installed CF11, and un-clicked the .Net integration checkbox. I ensured it was attached to  the IIS on the server, and completed the re-install. It appears fine - until I get to the "Configuration and Settings Migration Wizard" and it tells me to login.

    I login - and it never finishes. Just sits and spins. No errors show up in the events on the Server Manager. I'm fishing around looking for a configuration log file,but not sure where that is..

    Are you trying to migrate? If not then you can skip that part and once you are able to log in to admin then we can go ahead and migrate later

    Clean install. CF was never on this server. I've installed CF11 four times on other servers - 3 windows and 1 Linux, and never had this problem. I guess I'll do the updates to the server and get that out of the way. This particular server was installed in late 2012, and not touched since ( currently just runs a database ).

    Turns out the server is "Windows Server 2012 Standard" and does not appear to have been updated. Does that version make a difference?

    Thanks.

    Version should not be an issue. Can you stop .net services from services.msc page and try again?

    Could you please try the following steps:

    1. Open the Services snap-in by clicking the Start button, Control Panel, and Administrative Tools, then double-clicking Services.Note: For Windows Vista, use the Classic View display option in Control Panel to see the Administration Tools.
    2. In the details pane of the Services snap-in, right-click on the name of the service you want to start and select Properties.
    3. Click the Log On tab and clear the Allow service to interact with desktop checkbox.
    4. Click OK.

    No change - I did as you said, restarted the service, then re-ran the CF Admin login page - just spins.
