I need to stop a service from a user account. I do not want to switch to an
admin account. I know my admin account name and password. What command can
I issue to stop a service from a user account?
 
These may help.

Hi,

Relevant for Windows XP/Win2k3 Server also:

HOW TO: Grant Users Rights to Manage Services in Windows 2000

For method 3 in the article above:

A new, bug-fixed version of SubInACL.exe is available for download here
(Win2k/WinXP/Win2k3):

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=e8ba3e56-d8fe-4a91-93cf-ed6985e3927b

SETACL (freeware) at http://setacl.sourceforge.net/ can also set permissions
on local or remote Win32 services.
 
The user cannot stop the service. I do not want to give the user account
access to stopping the service. I need a script that will stop the service,
having admin privilege while logged as a user.

Somehow, can't a command window be opened, issue an admin "command",
stop/start a service, then return as the user? All in a script.

be portable or accessed from a secured area. I don't have a problem placing
the password in the script, because the script would be secured.

Hi,

Different RunAs products listed here, some free and some not, some
with encryption option for the password as well:

http://groups.google.co.uk/[email protected]

Other ones not mentioned in the link above:

SUperior SU (free, has a command line iterface)
http://www.stefan-kuhr.de/supsu/main.php3

LSrunas/LSrunasE (the latter with password encryption)
http://www.linkselection.com/lsrunas.asp

You may also want to check out PolicyMaker Application Security
(previously NeoExec), the main difference is that it does not require
the use of a second account, as most other RunAs derivatives requires.

This looks like what I need. I can put the runas command with a net stop in
a command file. How can I include a password without it prompting?
 
thanks
