Allow user to restart service remotely Jordan 07-27-2007

 We have a program that uses a license manager service on the server. The
program is not all that stable so occasionally the program will bomb out and
the license service on the server thinks that they are still logged in. The
only way to clear out the connection is to restart the service on the server
which means I have to do it.

Naturally I don't want users to have access to the server locally or
remotely, but I would like to have some way they can restart the service
when the program bombs out. Any ideas?

 Look at sc.exe, a Windows resource kit tool - that utility allows stopping
and starting services remotely.

and, sc also allows one to grant permissions over a service
(see sc sdshow and sc sdset)

Thanks, I got SC and the documents however I don't know what to do for the
Service Descriptor Definition Language entry for giving the users the right
to restart the service. For example I need to have my MYDOMAIN\Engineering
group be able to restart the FlexLM service on server \LicenseServer

So far I believe the syntax is"

sc \LicenseServer sdset FlexLM ???????

You should set the permission through GPO so it will be self documented,
survive a reinstall and apply to many citrix server if necessary..
