Easiest way to grant "Log on as a service" to a Windows user from the command-line?
The easiest way to do this from a command line is definitely using NTRights.exe
from the Windows Server 2003 Resource Toolkit.
ntrights +r SeServiceLogonRight -u jeroen -m \\%COMPUTERNAME%
I use Carbon and Chocolatey.
cinst carbon -y
Grant-Privilege -Identity $username -Privilege SeServiceLogonRight
