Remote Service Restart

[Paul Bergson]

Got an server that has some vendor specific services that I need to provide
ordinary users the ability to restart the services. I have gone ahead and
created a group and provided the stop_start ACL permissions (VIA
setACL.exe), but I need to be able to have the users restart these from a
remote machine.

Could anyone guide me as to which services/permissions need to be modified
to provide this user group permission to remotely attach and restart this
box. It currently is dying when it attempts to call the WMI serach (See the
code below).

Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer &
"\root\cimv2")

setACL url http://setacl.sourceforge.net/html/examples.html
See example 23
