Server 2008 use net start/stop without administrator prompt

windows-server-2008

The title says it all. I need to be able to start and stop a specific service via the normal (non-administrator) command prompt. Is there a way to give access to one user to start and stop this specific service with net start/stop? Currently I just get "access denied".

Best Answer

No. This is a security feature built into server 2008. You can open an elevated prompt by simply right clicking the CMD program icon and selecting run as administrator. (provided you are in fact an administrator!)
