OK, let me try to ask the question as pointed out by the original poster...

He wants some group of persons to:
(1) install software on a DC
(2) restart services on a DC

He does not want that same group of persons
(3) to be domain admin
(4) change ANYTHING in AD in ANY way...

if you guys (Mike and Matt) feel the problem/issue has been described correctly, please explain to me in detailed steps how you are going to configure things so that the original poster is able to accomplish requirements (1), (2), (3) and (4)...

Cheers,

Archi one other thing . .

To clarify, this user cannot be a member of the domain admins group,
but shouldn't be if they are not managing AD. Use the capability of AD
to delegate the appropiate rights.

Archi,

My colleague Mike is correct in saying you can deny access to Active
Driectory but still allow logon to the DC's. To do this, delegate read
only rights to your restricted administrator to everything within AD
then add that user to the list of accounts that can log on locally to
the dc within the Domain Controller Security Policy. Within the Domain
Controller Security Policy are also options to log on as a service,
etc for management functionality.

I recommend checking out Active Administrator from Scriptlogic to
handle the delegations of control within AD. With Active Administrator
you can easily configure these restricted permission within AD for your
admins via permissions templates that even self heal. Good luck.
