Cannot change service user name

[edgley]

Hi,

I want to make use of networked drives, so I am trying to change from LocalSystem to another account.

I have set the account up, with password, and have logged onto it.

However, when I log back in with my original account and try to change LocalSystem to the new account, it always comes up with invalid username or password.

I have tried with the service stopped, I have tried using the log in name ./server/log_in_name and none of them work.

Any ideas pleases?

Thanks,
Simon.

Use the "Browse" button and make sure to use the "Check Name" button when choosing which ID to use. The password is also case sensitive.

I dont see a browse or check name button.
I am trying to enter the new username in the sage service control programme.

Thanks,

What OS are you using?

Its here in XP

My bad, I didnt realise I had to go into windows service and associate the new account with the sage service.

I have now done this and it is using it okay.

Thank you.

I'd never even noticed you can do it in the SageTVServiceControl program.

It does have a strange format in there doesn't it, I wouldn't have a clue what format you're supposed to use and I couldn't see anything in the manual.

It's the same format Windows uses and should work as either workgroup\user or user@workgroup.

FWIW, I just use ".\user" format for setting my Sage service user (which it will be quite nice to not have to redo each install from now on ).
