Give webservice access to windows service

Question

I am running a webservice on server 2008 that needs access to a windows service and I need to give access to [the user that the web service is running as] via the command line.

(sorry if my wording is terrible, hopefully the brackets helped?).

I know there is a utility available with the windows 2000 resource kit (SUBINACL.exe), but is there one available in server 08 that doesn't require downloading a resource kit?

Thanks.

For everyone else wondering how to do this...

Microsoft offers a utility available for download called Subinacl.exe that allows you to do just this.

subinacl.exe /service <serviceName> /grant=Domain\AccountName=<AccessType>

For info on the different access types and on the utility in general...

subinacl.exe /help /full
