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

PowerShell doesn't have any native means of doing this, which means you'd probably be looking at either WMI or ADSI - you're more likely to find examples in VBScript, which has been around longer, although personally I don't think I've ever figured out how to programmatically assign user rights. Doesn't mean it can't be done, though, but you'll probably be looking outside the realm of PowerShell specifically.
