Important

·	If you change service account, remember to give the new account that you are using sufficient permissions and rights (file permissions, right "Log on as a service" etc.).

·	Before using this command, make sure that you know the account name and password of the old service account - if anything goes wrong you will need it.

Tip
Also have a look at the NTreport example List all services that uses a service account.

Example
Set service account to "steve" in domain "d26" and password to "asji399sd-X" for the schedule service on machine \\edu12.

Put "\\edu12" in the [machines] section

Add this line to the [batch] section:

Service.SetLogon Schedule,d26\steve,asji399sd-X
