I have numerous application servers that run several custom defined services. I am trying to assign service permissons to an Active Directory Group so that this group my start, stop and restart these services. I did some research and found a way to solve only part of my problem.
I created a new OU in AD for these application servers. Then I created a new Group Policy for this OU. I opened the Group Policy container for this OU and navigated to Computer Configuration -- Windows Settings -- Security Settings -- System Services. In need a way to add my custom services to this list of services so that I can assign my development security group the rights to start, stop and restart these services. I was able to assign the correct permissions I need for the tomcat service but I don't know how to get my custom services to show up in this list.
Does anyone know of a way to add a custom service to the list of services in the System Services console? Otherwise the only way I was able to give the permissions I needed was to make the members of the development security group members of the power users group on each server. I am hoping to assign a lesser set of permissions than power user.
