Hi Rene,

The user we are impersonating (via pubkey auth) is an admin user. Are
you suggesting that once logged in via pubkey, we ssh to localhost
again?

Sorry, I'm not sure what's meant by this. The script that executes the
"net stop w3svc" command is a web deployment script, so using the GUI
isn't necessary, I hope!

Thanks,

Andrew
