I suppose it still could still be permissions blocking this. Try enabling
auditing to confirm that the account you think is being used is really the
one being used.

I assume you've confirmed you have Basic Authentication enabled on the
relevant folders and scripts that call the .DLL, since authentication is not
just set globally but also can be set per file or folder.

I assume you know that with basic authentication your password can be
sniffed by someone on the network [unless you have a certificate for SSL
encryption.]

I personally just use the NETSVC command that comes with the Windows
Resource Kit for stopping and starting and querying services. It's not
free, though and it does require NetBIOS to be allowed from your computer to
the target computer. On the other hand, it wouldn't make a lot of sense to
lock down the server by disabling or filtering NetBIOS if you were also
going to pass unencrypted plain text passwords to it.
