How can I give an account permission to start or stop a particular Windows Service using SC.exe?
What I'm trying to do is from one machine A call these operations from another machine B:
net.exe use \\B /delete
net.exe use \\B /user:B\<username> <password>
sc.exe \\B stop <service name>
The issue is that the first two operations pass but the third one fails.
You have to give your user the permission to stop the service either explicitly or via the membership of a sufficiently privileged group. This can be done by first changing a security template using the Security Templates MMC snapin and subsequently applying it to your system either locally or via group policy. This works at least on from Windows XP.
