We currently use SUBINACL.exe for allowing non-administrators to manage Windows services remotely for Windows 2003 servers. A lot of the articles reference using this tool for the same administration in Windows Server 2008, but the newest version of the file I could find was from 2004, and does not indicated that Windows Server 2008 is a supported platform. Is there an updated version of this for Windows Server 2008? Link: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=E8BA3E56-D8FE-4A91-93CF-ED6985E3927B&displaylang=en

Hi SpaceCowboy, Currently, there is no updated support version of it for Windows Server 2008. Based on my test, SubInACL.exe works on Windows Server 2008.

I was able to resolve this issue. The answer can be found in KB907460. Specifically, I had to do the following: Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK. Type the following command at the command prompt, and then press ENTER: sc sdset SCMANAGER D:(A;;CCLCRPRC;;;AU)(A;;CCLCRPWPRC;;;SY)(A;;KA;;;BA)S:(AU;FA;KA;;;WD)(AU;OIIOFA;GA;;;WD) The article states the problem exists in Windows Server 2003, but I had the same problem with Windows Server 2008.

We stopped using subinacl in favor of icacls.
