Hi Chopper,<br />
<br />
I did not understand the first part of your solution. Are these two possible solutions, or is the first part required for the PsService tool? <br />
<br />
Not entirely sure what is meant by &quot;setup the service as Logon As with that account.&quot;<br />
<br />
Thanks.

Hi Chopper,

Not entirely sure what is meant by "setup the service as Logon As with that account."

Thanks.

We have a small server running in the hotel and sometimes the hotel software needs to be restarted, firstly by stopping the service, then starting again. I would prefer that staff so not have access to the server administrator account and was wondering if it is possible to create a user account whose sole function would be limited to starting and stopping services.<br />
<br />
In a perfect world this would not be required, but the software developer has indicated this is the only solution for now.

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).
