Granting SeServiceLogonRight to a user from PowerShell
This script contains functions that work fine and without any dependencies:
https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Grant-Revoke-Query-user-26e259b0
Besides that, here is the concrete solution for your problem:
function Add-ServiceLogonRight([string] $Username) {
Write-Host "Enable ServiceLogonRight for $Username"
$tmp = New-TemporaryFile
secedit /export /cfg "$tmp.inf" | Out-Null
(gc -Encoding ascii "$tmp.inf") -replace '^SeServiceLogonRight .+', "`$0,$Username" | sc -Encoding ascii "$tmp.inf"
secedit /import /cfg "$tmp.inf" /db "$tmp.sdb" | Out-Null
secedit /configure /db "$tmp.sdb" /cfg "$tmp.inf" | Out-Null
rm $tmp* -ea 0
}
This worked for me. You can decide which is cleaner ;-) The key is the LsaAddAccountRights windows API function.

This really should be a comment to Andy's answer but I do not have the rep needed to comment.
The code as provided will access memory that has been freed -- which might "work" (sometimes) but is always bad practice. Please see my answer to another question about a problem with the same code: Why might LsaAddAccountRights return STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER?
It seems this code has been being passed around for several years.
