How to setup MID server windows service to use specific user

[jonathanstewart]

How can you set up a Windows MID server service to run as a specific user instead of the local system?

Sorry, I got a little mixed up (again.)

Not that I can see from section 8.2 here: MID Server Installation - ServiceNow Wiki

It's been a while since I've done Windows administration, but I'm sure there's a Run as option somewhere in the service definition.

It's a bit old, but this link should help:

Microsoft Corporation

Note: If this MID server will be doing discovery, ensure that service account user has local admin rights to the target machines.

Make sure that the account you reference in the "This Account" field is the network account (ie, xyz@yourdomain.ad) and not the local account that has the same name.
