| You can probably just give them power users in Windows. They might need Local Admin though. So there is no permission in SQL Server that you can grant for this, only at the Windows level.Tara |

| Why would you want to do this???????? If you're trying to do this from SQL Server, they will need access to xp_cmdshell to run net commands. To run net commands, they will need to be power users or administrators. I can't imagine ever letting a user do this though. ???????MeanOldDBAderrickleggett@hotmail.comWhen life gives you a lemon, fire the DBA. |

| Me either. If someone needs to be able to do this, then that someone should be a DBA or a server administrator. No one else should be able to touch the services.Tara |

| FWIW I look after a web site for a Mom & Pop outfit that has this ability.If I'm away they have a scheduled to go through when things are bad - this includes Stop/Start SQL & IIS (via a record set in the DB using a front end application; this row is interogated by a task running every 10 minutes), and if that doesn't work a similarly scheduled task that will reboot the machine.Kristen |
