I am getting hung up during the install as the service account I am trying to use does not have the logon as a service configured (it's a domain admin account btw). I have found that if I go into the machines Local Security Policy -&gt; User Rights Assignment -&gt; Log on as a service setting and add the account there and then run the script it installs perfectly. Is this normal or can I run a script to add this service account to the Log on as a service setting before my script runs the setup?</P> <P>Thanks!</P> Tue, 13 Mar 2012 22:58:15 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Windows-Universal-Forwarder-Log-On-As-A-Service-error/m-p/91502#M19030 rmero 2012-03-13T22:58:15Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Windows-Universal-Forwarder-Log-On-As-A-Service-error/m-p/91503#M19031 <P>This is very difficult.
