Facing issue in Installing MID Server in Windows 2016 Server

[Rohit Singh]

Hi All, 

I am trying to install the MID Server in Windows 2016 Server. While installing MID server it ask for Local Service Account Details. I have created a user in Local users and Groups. Now I am adding that user in Local Security Policy. Local Policies->User Right Assignment->Log on as Service. However in Windows 2016 Server adding a user is disabled.

Please suggest how I can proceed it installing a mid server.

The issue is fixed. There is a manual way of creating a Service account by which user gets added in the "Log On as Service" policy.

@Rohit Singh ,if you are seeing user add option is greyed out then check  Modify the Group Membership of the User as the user account that you have created for the MID Server need to be part of a specific local group, like the admin or Users group, to be eligible for  rights assignments.

follow the below steps:

1.Open local user and group(lusrmgr.msc) from the Run dialog

2.Right-click the user you created and select properties.

3.In the member of tab, add the user to the administrator group or any group with sufficient privileges

4.After updating the group membership, restart the server and attempt to assign the "Log on as Service" right again.

and then verify Account is disabled  checkbox is unchecked now.
