Create an standard account, make it an administrator. If you change the domain controller security policy or domain security policy and set the access rights to allow the logon as a service and not logon as interactive. This will prevent the user login on but permit use as a service.

How exactly do I allow an account to only logon as a service thereby preventing anybody logging on with that account on a workstation/server? &nbsp;(for Active Directory - DC's running SP4).<br />
<br />
thanks.

Creating accounts for service logon only?

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
