Cloud Services user account privileges

[Uffe]

Hi all,


I'm setting up cloud services for a client.

It's an intranet installation and we're only intending to use it for reusable assets. We're on a Windows server with the databases in an SQL Server on the same host, and do not use IIS integration.

My problem is I can't get the service to run unless it's got administrator privileges.

The installers sets up the service to run as Local System. If I modify it to run as a different user account, which has full control of the install directory, the service fails to start. It drops a Windows log saying it failed to read the configuration file, but that's its catch-all log for failure to initialize. (You get the same thing if for instance the account doesn't have write access to the Logs directory.)

If I then give that same user account local admin privileges, it runs just fine.

Does anyone know what specific privileges this thing needs and why?

If I can set the account up to have some specific privileges that'd far more palatable than giving it complete administrative control.

Cheers,

Does the user account have log on locally rights on the server?
