Elevation on executing cmd commands

$

Hi..

I have a very strange issue where i do have two service accounts meant for two windows servers 2008

On one server when i launch cmd without running it as an Administrator and try to execute one command which starts an application service using one utility it succeeds, whereas on other server it doesn't and ends with below error..

StartService

FAIL: openservice failed [EIO*: Input/Output error OR Access is denied.]

When i try to execute command as an administrator it works whereas on other server i dont have to launch cmd in Admin mode in order to successfully execute the command

Both service accounts are having Local Admin rights on their respective servers

applied GPO's on both servers and user accounts are the same

User account control (UAC) is set to highest on both servers, but in order to execute command successfully on one server without having to launch it in admin mode i have to put the UAC level to lowest which is not desirable

Would like to know the root cause or any suggestion for this strange behavior
