Dear all,
I am having issues with defining a service to start pg_ctl on a Windows server 2003 machine and accessing a data directory stored on a network drive. I have well noted the suggestion of creating an unprivileged user to start the service (http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-general/2007-05/msg01340.php) but it is not possible to create a local user on a Windows server machine. Could you clarify - why it is not possible to log on the service from the same user which has been used to create the database and can start pg_ctl manually, - in which directories I need to make sure that the user logging on the service has the full rights (I guess the data directory but probably also the postgres executables directory)? Thank you very much in advance!
