Converting From MOVEit Central as a LocalSystem Service

If you are running the MOVEit Central service as LocalSystem and you want to switch this to a specific administrator account, please follow the following procedure.

1. Go to Administrative Tools / Services.
2. Right-click MOVEit Central, and choose Properties.
3. Choose the Log On tab.

   You will see that the Local System account is selected.

4. Choose This account and select a local administrator account (for which you know the password).
5. Then choose OK to change the user under which MOVEit Central runs.

   This step is necessary because Windows will not allow services to access network shares if they are running under the local system account.

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. Click Add on the dialog that appears, and add 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 Central "Program Files\MOVEit" folder and cache folder.
