Cant start service as a different user.

[saaifali]

I have tried to install this service as different users using Credential param. I need it to run as a part of my automation to install windows services.
With the PSService -Start command, the service logs as started.
But it does not run the PSService -Service command to actually run the service.
PSService -SCMstart works, but it is for test purposes only and also opens a window of my script execution which I donot want.
How do I get to run the service as a different user?

Hello Saif, This looks like an authorization issue. Did you make sure that the account you want to use for the service has the "Log on as a service" right? Jean-François

Yes. it does have log on as service rights. But does not start.
I read in the previous issues that you have faced similar issues with other accounts?
any solution?

I'm sorry, but I don't have any other idea for your case. Running under a different account works for many other people, so it should work for you too. Look in the event log for progress information, and possible error messages. Try adding more logging, to have more information on how far the various processes go before failing. And when you find what's wrong for you, please post it here to help others in the future. Jean-François
