Log on as Batch - Win2000 Service

How can I change this parameter?? Go into Services on W2K Server and the 5th column shows
"Log On As" its this I need to change from LocalSystem to Batch -- Please help.

Hi,

Although I'm sure you've spotted it by now, you simply right click the service to bring up the properties page. Its set on that!

Do you have a Backup account set up on your PC? You'll need to add one of those if the backup software didn't create it for you.

Also, you'll almost certainly need to make sure that the Backup account has appropriate access to the filesystem - so it can read the files to back them up !! This hopefully will have been taken care of if the software added theaccount for you...

Cheers,
Tim.

Hi,
I think there may be some confusion here. 'Log on as a batch job' - which is what I believe you are referring to - is a user RIGHT rather than a user account. The documentation you are reading is probably suggesting that you either create a user account (or use an existing one) and set the service to run under that user rather than the localsystem. This is usual if, for example, the service needs to access network resources. The user account that you use will need (apparently) to be granted the 'log on as a batch job' right. Ths can be done via either the local or site\domain\ou group policy object for the computer.
