Try creating a Local User Account under which the service will run. Then grant the user account the "Logon As A Service" user right.

order of services

by tbruce Sep 4, 2007 9:27PM PDT

We found that by stalling the script that we were running in the service that it loaded. It seems that our service would not run because it was being loaded before some key windows services. Thanks for your help though, your reply was very much appreciated.

How to control that order.

For right or wrong the services load in alphabetical order. So you can load later by have a "z" named service.
