Using powershell, how do I grant “Log on as service” to an account?

Question

I\'m trying to use powershell to configure the account credentials, but I need to grant the account \"Log on as a service\" right in order for it to work. How can I do this

Answer 1

This is how I solved it:

Based on: this article

You can download Carbon from here

First import Carbon module as follows:

Import-Module -Name $Path_To_Carbon -Global -Prefix CA

[array]$UserPrivileges = Get-CAPrivileges -Identity $UserName;
[bool]$LogOnAsAServiceprivilegeFound = $false;

if ($UserPrivileges.Length > 0)
{
    if ($UserPrivileges -contains "SeServiceLogonRight")
    {
        $LogOnAsAServiceprivilegeFound = $true;
    }
}

if ($LogOnAsAServiceprivilegeFound -eq $false)
{
    Grant-CAPrivilege -Identity $UserName "SeServiceLogonRight"
}
