Assign the ‘Log on as a service’ Privilege

If you changed any service logon account to a named user, you must manually assign the ‘Log on as a service’ security privilege to this account:

1. Ensure that you are logged on to the target server with local administrator rights on.
2. On the target server, open the Local Security Policy applet or, if this server is a domain controller, open the Domain Controller Security Policy applet. Both applets are available in Administrative Tools.
3. Expand the Local Policies branch and select User Rights Assignment. This security area determines which users have logon privileges on the local computer.
4. Assign the Log on as a service privilege to the service logon account.
