Shortcut for user to run a service as admin - print spooler
Hi all,
I need to create a shortcut or something that allows the logged on user to restart the print spooler as admin is this possible?

- I created a blog a while ago when it was still necessary some times to restart the ime service to trigger some stuff
Can be used for the spooler service though..

Due to the print spooler requires another service to also restart would the powershell that I convert into a exe look like this:
net start Print Spooler
net stop Print Spooler
net stop PaperCut Direct Print Monitor
Net start PaperCut Direct Print Monitor- Should be no problem... just add it to the script.
- Not sure if that would be a wise decision because it has security implications... Is this trying to fix an issue as a work-around?
- Yes, so we have a few staff literally only a few that send something to print but doesnt go through.
We then have to restart the print spooler everytime this issue occurs.
We are awaiting a fix from papercut but till then i wanted to give a workaround for those who are experiencing this issue.
