I have a temporary consultant that is working on a project. He often needs to restart a service that is on another server and he asks me to restart it for him. This server is on a different domain from the working domain. I don't want to make him administrator of the server. Is there a way to give him the possibility to remotely restart the service without using credentials and without passing unprotected passwords, from his working computer? I found subinacl.exe that should let me change the permission of the service, but how can I connect to the remote computer? Psexec is not ok because it needs an explicit password.

You can do this through command line. Not sure if it will prompt for credentials, though. I guess it depends on the service you're wanting to stop and start.

sc \machine stop (to stop) sc \machine start (to start)
