Service and folder permissions using Active Directory 1

[mpnut]

I have multiple PCs with similar file structures. Each of these has a folder named ETPrize that contains an application (also running as a service). What I need is a way to allow the logged on user (who does not normally have permission) to stop the service and run an update that overwrites some files in the folder. Can this be done using Active Directory or is this something better suited to a login script?

You can create a Group Policy or use Sceurity Templates to give users permissions to start/stop specific services.
