Authorize the Service Account

The account used to run processing services requires permission to run as a service. Prior to installing anything, perform this process on:

  • Your batch server/reconciliation server (in a large-scale implementation with three servers)
  • Your processing server (in a two server application implementation)
  • Your application server (in a single server implementation).

  1. To authorize the service account:

  2. On the appropriate server, log in as an administrator (suggested: <Admacct />).

  3. Go to:

    • On Windows Server 2012, Start > Administrative Tools > Local Security Policy
    • On earlier releases of Windows Server, Start> All Programs > Administrative Tools > Local Security Policy.

  4. Select the Local Policies node, and choose User Rights Assignment.

  5. Open the policy Log on as a service, and add the service account (example: <Svcacct />).

  6. Open the policy Log on as a batch job, and add the service account (example: <Svcacct />).

  7. Click OK.

    Tip: A Microsoft error dialog Security Templates - An extended error has occurred. Failed to save Local Policy Database. may appear. This error is described at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2411938, and may safely be ignored.
