A restricted or standard user fails to start the server

On Windows®, a restricted or standard user fails to start the server or run any tasks involving a started server.

The default profile files, the set of files that define the run-time environment, are owned by the administrator group. As a result, members that does not belong to the administrator group, such as restricted or standard users, are not permitted by the operating system to update or delete files owned by the administrator group.

The profile files become owned by the administrator group during the installation of WebSphere® Application Server with this product. In order to successfully install WebSphere Application Server, you were required to log on as a member of the administrator group.

To successfully start the WebSphere Application Server or run any tasks with a started server, log into the Windows operating system with the user account who created the profile. The user account you want to use should be the owner of the profile for which you want to use to start the server. This user account will already be a member of an administrative group because it was a user requirement to install WebSphere Application successfully.
