NCPA_listener logon as

[occ]

Hi,
we need to run NCPA_Listener on a Windows machine not with the default local\system user but instead as a different domain user.

We'd like to know what level of permission the account should have.

This is because we've encountered an issue on a machine where we tryed to start the service with an account in the "power user" group but it refused to start.
When we moved the user to local admin it immediately starterd.

Hi,

Were there any errors when you tried to start the service? Also, check the following log for any errors and let us know what you find. Thanks, Benjamin

I would check out https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/window ... em-account which has deteails on the permissions of the LocalSystem account. Use this as a template for creating another account to run the process.
