batch file to reset services, need to set explicit credentials

[ShuckyD]

I'm trying to create a batch file here to STOP and then START services on a remote machine. Currently I have been using the SC command and I tried looking at NET STOP/START a little bit. I have also messed with SysInternals' psexec program but all with no luck. I tried using psexec to launch the batch file contents below but it bombs with an "error code 1" so I have been trying different routes...

I want to create a batch file to ECHO something to the user, they click a button, it'll stop the services, then ECHO something else, then they click a button and then it'll start those services back up. I have sufficient network rights that it works fine for me just using the following:

ECHO This will reset blah blah blah
PAUSE
sc \\srv1 stop servicename
sc \\srv2 stop servicename
ECHO Please wait a few seconds and then... 
PAUSE
sc \\srv1 start servicename
sc \\srv2 start servicename

but this wont work for limited users and I dont want to increase their network rights, this is just while I'm out for vacation. So I want to give it an explicit user that I setup just for this that will have sufficient rights to the service control module on those servers. so I can say the user with the DOMAIN\User context and include the password which I think would work best in double quotes.

Any takers on this, I think I'm just missing something simple, any tricks to doing this that I dont know about?

bump for the morning...

Wouldn't it be easier to install webmin and make them an account and permissions there?

Well I use psexec to open firefox and snapshot a thumbnail on a windows box, works for unix too.
psexec.exe and the bat same folder. cmd runs background

Can wrap this in some php code to do what you want. Do normal bat commands in
a command.bat file.

function execInBackground($cmd) {
if (substr(php_uname(), 0, 7) == "Windows"){
pclose(popen("start /B ". $cmd, "r"));
}
else {
exec($cmd . " > /dev/null &");
}

exec("Psexec.exe -i -d ./filepath/command.bat ");



Here's the basic command format for the exec.

exec ("psexec -u someusername -p somepassword -c \\\\someipaddressORHostname someprogram.exe");

Hope this helps, I had to play with this a while myself to get working.
