Solved gpedit and system services

Hi !

I would like to allow basic users to control start/stop of a specific system service, but i don't see "system services" node in gpedit on Windows 7 enterprise SP1.

Microsoft decided to remove it ? Is there something i'm missing ?

Thanks for your help

Regards

I had to deal with "security templates" to get access to this feature
[SOLVED]

Where did you find the Security Templates?

Click to expand...

1) goto "start" -> "execute..."
2) type mmc and press OK
3) goto "File" -> "Add/Remove snap-in"
4) add "Security templates" and press OK
5) Then right-clic on node and create new template
6) Once your new template is created you gain access to "system services"

Then, you will have to save, import and apply your new security template so that your changes take effect (by using the "Security Configuration and Analysis" snap-in).

In fact, the way to achieve this is the same since Windows XP...i've just lost my brain when i posted my thread...

I follow you up to "Then right-clic on node and create new template". I don't see how to do that unless you meant "New Template Search Path...".. If I click on that I end up in a Browse for folder dialog.

Remember : i am talking about Windows 7 enterprise, i don't know if others Windows 7 release provide this feature.
In addition, my Windows 7 is a French version, so my translation may be approximative.

I've found a video on youtube that show how to add a security template : the first minute of the video is valid because it shows how to create a new security template. Then, later in the video you will see how to import and apply a security template :
VIDEO IS HERE

Note that this video concerns Windows 2008 but it is exactly the same on W7 (enterprise edition).

Hope this help. If not, i can try to install a UK Windows 7 on my computer to have the real translation...

No, that's okay. I was just curious. Thanks
