calling vboxmanage from service doesn't work for snapshot

calling vboxmanage from service doesn't work. I'm trying to take a snapshot via an external service or restore a snapshot, it writes like that it does something but it doesn't do anything. I succeed to start a virtual machine.
If you want to do the same thing by your own all that you need to do, create a task in the task scheduler of windows so that it will call vboxmanage with the following arguments: snapshot [uuid] restorecurrent. and run it.

If any can help me to solve this problem it will be great.
Thanks,
Elisha

Services usually run as system, which is not the user. Try setting the credentials to the user that starts the guest.
