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.

Hi @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.
