Does anyone have a script that will configure an existing service running on a PC to use a different user account other than the local system account? Here is an example to put it into context:<br />
<br />
SERVER1 (Windows Server 2003) currently has a Service running called 'Service1' which is running as the &quot;log on as&quot; user account of local system. This Service needs to be reconfigured so that the &quot;log on as&quot; user account is 'srvrun@domain.com' with the password of 'password'.

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
