  IIS 7.0 and Windows Server 2008 Service Control manager problem Reply Contact Our application use Classic ASP that calls into a .NET interface to check the status of one of our Services.  We have set up the appication in the IIS 7.0 application pool and assigned a user to it that does not have administrative rights.  Whenever we try to get the service status our C# .NET call to System.ServiceProcess via ServiceController.GetServices method we get the following  exception thrown: Cannot open Service Control Manager on computer '.'. This operation might require other privileges. : System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: Access is denied : System.ServiceProcess If we change the user in the IIS 7.0 Process Model Identity and Physical Path Credentials to us 'administrator' everything works fine. My question is what authentication setting needs to be changed to allow the non-administrative user to access the services when attached to IIS 7.0? Thanks..

The documentation clearly states that. Thanks, Mukhtar Desai IIS Performance Team

  Re: IIS 7.0 and Windows Server 2008 Service Control manager problem Reply Contact Hello, I looked at the documentation and it states that it is 'typically used in an administrative capacity', however I can access the Service Control Manager without being administrator.  I believe the issue is when I access it when I am an object attached to IIS 7.0 it forces the IIS 7.0 user to be administrator.  Thanks for you response.
