Logon Account to Run Service

[rupertvz]

Hi Guys,

I've been having issues with using the correct logon account to run a service.
Some of the functionality is, the service creates entries in a log file.

Domain Administrator works fine, but when the server reboots, you have to re-enter the logon credentials.
This is probably because we are not supposed to use Domain Administrator Account.

None of the other user accounts work, even if I create a new account, give full folder permissions and make the account an Administrator.  (Log entries are not being created)
It is as if the logon account is unable to write the log file?

The same service is running on other servers / sites successfully.

Any ideas will be appreciated!

Hi Rupert,

Presumably you are attempting to write to C Drive? In a location where you are allows to write? (ie not the Program Files folder)?

cheers

Thanks Bruce,

I am trying to write to a custom folder in C:\

I have allocated permissons to the folder of the particular user account.

I also gave this user account 'log on as service' permission.
