API v2 Service Account

The API requires a service account with the ‘Log on as a service’ User Right assigned from your Domain Policy. Here’s an example showing the procession of AD tools to do this:

•      Open the Group Policy Tool

•      Right Click Default Domain Policy

•      Select Edit

•      Click on User Rights Assignment

•      Double-click Log on as a service

•      Click Add User or Group…

•      Click Browse

•      Enter part of the Account name to search for then click OK

•      Select the matching name that you want. Our example uses WinBackup but you will have a more appropriate name

•      Click OK to go back through all of the screens you opened to get here
