How can I give normal user privilage to restart a Service ?

[netwalker1]

Dear All :
There is a need to let a normal user to restart a service owned by another administrator ...
I gave him all the full permission on the registry related to this service using regedt32 utility without success ..

Any advises ?

Note : Of course adding him to the local Administrator solved it but I need to avoid that !

Use a web page that uses WMI to restart the service. You can then just give the web page admin rights and remove all elevated rights from the user. Restrict access to the web page with NTFS permissions so only the authorized user can access the page.

I hope you find this post helpful.

Happy to help but let's get you to do a little leg work so you can be self sufficient. Start by searching Microsoft.com for WMI code to restart a service.

Then it is a simple matter of wrapping that into an ASP page.

You can also do it by group policies. If its only on a single workstation you can do it on the local group policy or if there a few create a domain or OU level policy.

Go to the computer config settings and there you can see the services listed, you can define who can do what to the services.
