Here's an Active Directory approach (and, actually, the non-AD approach
is almost identical):
Create a domain user, "ColdFusion." Add 'Domain\ColdFusion' user to
your CF server's 'Administrators' group. Assign this user to the
'ColdFusion Application Server Service' service a la "Log On as:" and
"This Account: [EMAIL PROTECTED]" There is no need to modify
the other CF services (Executive & RDS). Restart.
Now, you can assign granular permissions for your ColdFusion server as
any other user or group throughout your Windows network. For example,
add [EMAIL PROTECTED] to the target server's 'Users' or
'Guests' groups, as appropriate.
