Darren Syzling @ 02/15/2003 06:01 PM. Been running as non admin a couple of months now. The SQL Server service caught me the other day. There's a useful tool in the Win 2000 res kit - SUBINACL.EXE which allows an admin to delegate permissions to manage a service to another user. You should then be able to start/stop the MSSqlserver service manually if required. [Comments]

Thanks, Darren.
