OK, so here's another potential workaround that doesn't require running the service as a specific user... Create a scheduled task to run using the following settings: General -> Run using user account - > choose a local account General -> "Run whether user is logged on or not" Triggers -> Run at system startup Actions -> Start a program -> Program/script: %SystemRoot%\Cystem32\cmd.exe Actions -> Start a program -> Add arguments: /c exit Full password logon is required (seems we can't use "do not store password" option). The local account does not have to be a member of Administrators, but it does require user right "Log on as a batch job" (SeBatchLogonRight). In my prefunctory testing this seems to fix this problem. Does this work?
