In PowerShell  the  sc  command is an alias for the Set-Content cmdlet  You can workaround this using the following syntax   sc exe config Service obj  user password  pass   Specyfying the  exe extension  PowerShell bypasses the alias lookup   HTH

This works   sc exe config   servicename   obj      username   password    password     Where each of the  bracketed  items are replaced with the true arguments   Keep the quotes  but don t keep the brackets    Just keep in mind that    The spacing in the above example matters   obj   foo  is correct  obj  foo  is not      is an alias to the local machine  you can specify a domain there  or your local computer name  if you wish  Passwords aren t validated until the service is started Quote your parameters  as above   You can sometimes get by without quotes  but good luck
