Converting From MOVEit Automation as a Local System Service

Windows does not allow services to access network shares if the services are running under the local system account.

If you are running the MOVEit Automation service as Local System, use this procedure to switch to a specific administrator account.

1. On the Windows machine, go to Administrative Tools > Services.
2. Right-click MOVEit Automation, and select Properties.
3. Click the Log On tab.

   The Local System account is selected.

4. Select This account and select a local administrator account for which you know the password.
5. Click OK to change the user under which MOVEit Automation runs.
6. The account you choose must have the Act as part of the operating system right. To configure this:
   1. Go to Administrative Tools / Local Security Policy.
   2. Expand the Local Policies tree, and choose User Rights Assignment.
   3. Double-click Act as part of the operating system.
   4. In the dialog box that opens, click Add, and specify the user under which the service will be running.
7. Make sure the account you choose has full file/folder permission rights to the MOVEit Automation "Program Files\MOVEit" folder and cache folder.
