Specifying Usernames

ServiceSecure distinguishes between builtin, local and domain accounts. To see how ServiceSecure specifies user accounts simply run it once without command line parameters (or with only the \\server parameter).

 

Builtin, Local and Non-Domain accounts should be prefixed with a ".\", like ".\Administrator".

 

Domain accounts should be prefixed with the domain name, like "DOMAIN\User1".

 

Service Dependencies

When specifying the /restart option the modified services will also be restarted. Note that services that depend on the modified services, even though unaffected, will also be restarted.

 

Example: You are modifying the service MSSQLServer which runs under the account "DOMAIN1\SQLUser". The service SQLServerAgent, which depends on MSSQLServer, runs under the LocalSystem account. However in order to stop and restart the MSSQLServer service the SQLServerAgent service will also have to be restarted. This is done automatically when the /restart switch is specified.
