Brethern --

This one is killing me. I've got a very simple script that when called from the command line, will stop any service I specify but when over the HTTP, looks like it executes OK but doesn't do anything to the service.

I have gone into the service I want to mess with (under properties), toggled to the "Log on" pane and made sure to check the "Allow service to interact with desktop" for ALL IIS related services.

This is clearly some permissions problem, but I'm stumped. This is WinXP and IIS 6, BTW.

Thanks,
