windows service

[arkiboys]

Hi, On my local machine I have admin rights. I run a windows service and it works fine with correct results... Now I would like to run the service under a different account. So I created an account i.e userTest which is on the domain on the network. Then added this userTest to my machines admin users. Question: I do not know why the service does not run under this user's account. When I try to start the service, the message is: "Service on local computer started amd then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they have no work to do, for eaxample, the performance logs and alerts service." Any thoughts please? Regards

So what does it say in the Eventlog?

User Logoff: User Name: userTest Domain: domainName Logon ID: (0x0,0x7493371) Logon Type: 5

Nope, not that, look for an exception caused by the service. Or even better, attach a debugger and see what happens.

This mean that the service has done what it was programmed to do and exited. My guess is that there are some user property that prevents this user from doing the actual work inside the service: -Searching for a file in the wrong directory -Doesn't have the right settings -Hasn't mapped the correct network drive etc Kjetil

It could also mean that the service stopped prematurely (crashed, or something else).

Services aren't role-based. They're account based. You have to install it for the account you want to use it under, and then log on with that account. Go into the service manager, and change the user account to the desired one.
