Enable Non-Admin Access to SBS Scheduled Tasks Remotely

Asked by leew in Windows 2003 Server, SBS Small Business Server, Microsoft Windows Operating Systems

Tags: Microsoft, Windows, SBS 2003, Scheduled Tasks Non-Administrator

Looking for a quick answer if someone has it.... I have a system I'm trying to setup where a non-admin user can restart a service remotely on the server.  The service in question is a SQL Express instance.  I thought I'd use a scheduled task and instruct people to browse to the server and execute the scheduled task (giving them permission to it).  However, I didn't realize that when browsing the server, only admins can see the Scheduled Tasks folder.  How can I enable non-admins to see this?  Or does someone have a better idea?  I DO NOT want to give the users domain admin rights to do this and you can't encrypt passwords in a script - users are prompted for them.   Hmmm... maybe SC with a LOCAL task running as a different user might work... I'll look into that now... but if anyone has other ideas, I'd appreciate it.
