Hi All,

Is there a way to let a user kill a local process without giving him admin
privileges, password, etc.
The idea is to let him just kill a specified process without requesting a
password.
I tried to find a right in 'Local Policy' but I didn't find any.

Thanx
Regards,
Jean-Marc
 
Hello Jean Marc,

Unfortunately the user is not able to kill a process that doesn't belong to
him or her. Only user owned proceses can be killed by the user. All other
processes (owned by admin or system) can only be killed by the
Administrator.

Hope this information helps.
Cheers,

You could script it by using
http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/pskill.shtml but you
obviously need to provide the password in the script and if you just use
the obvious batch-file-method anyone executing the file can also read
it. So you would have to wrap something around it that supplies the
password in which the password could not be read, for example by
hardcoding it into an executable that cannot be decompiled.
