Windows Services and MSA accounts

Question

We have multiple windows services running under msa accounts.
On first deploy, the services are unable to run.

The work arround is to go into the server => services => right click the service => go to Log On tab => clear the Password and Confirm password fields => save => start service

On second deployment, no problem at all.
And now, new stuff, on recent windows services, the Log On tab is greyed out...

I've just found the command to reenable the LogOn tab:
sc.exe managedaccount "ServiceName" false

Anyone has a better idea of doing this in a simple manner ?

Answer 1

Hello,

Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

Sometimes the Log On tab is grayed out, perhaps because you do not have administrative privileges when you open the Services console. To do this, click the Start button and type services. Right-click the Services application on the search results and select Run as administrator.

Best regards
