Thanks for the fast response.

1: Sorry, my mistake, we made them Server Operators. Tested their ability to stop / start with Server Manager.

2: I'm using 4.02 Kix.

The server is an NT4 BDC, (second test server is non DC) The user is running W2K.

I should point out there is 2 domains with a full two way transitive trust. (yes m$ training).

What throws me off, is Server manager works. I have gone to the private news groups in MS, and have verified that both server manager and netsvc use the same RPC call, to perform the operation.
