Hello,

I have a custom service that starts with a different network account. On the
local server I have granted the "Log on as a service" rights to the network
account in the Local Security Policy. However, when I try and start the
service it fails to start. If I add the Network Account as an Administrator
on the server, it will work fine and start right up, however, I would prefer
not to give this network account Administrative rights just for this. I
tried just adding the network account to the PowerUsers group but that still
failed.

I think what is happening is, this service is set to write to the Event
Viewer and it can't create its own custom Event Source without having Admin
rights so I didn't know if there was a way I could give it enough rights to
create its event source without giving it rights to the whole server.

Thanks for any advice,
