ServiceController with remote services

[JMZ]

I am trying to control and communicate with a service remotely and need to
know what permissions are required when using a ServiceController instance to
start, stop, and send custom commands to a remote service?

I know how to impersonate for the call and the service already responds
properly when both the client and server are in the same domain, but some
accounts need more rights. The error message does not tell me what the
missing permissions are, only that Access is denied.

Does anyone know the specific rights an account requires to remotely control
a Windows service?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks.

Must the account have full Admin rights, or is there a specific permission
it must have?

I would rather not use an Admin account if possible.

Thanks.

I would say you need one with Admin rights to avoid trouble. You should use
one that has a strong password implemented.
