Is there such a thing...

I'm having issue with creating and starting a service on a client server. The service has been created using SrvAny and the Service Account being used is part of the local system administrators.

However, when starting the service it's supposed to create a log file - which it's not doing. UAC is also disabled, I don't get a popup but the Registry Value for UAC is '1'.

My Question is: Is there a program which can list the permissions being used when running a service/application? I'm sure it's related to 2012 R2 but cannot isolate the exact cause.

Help would be appreciated, it's causing me a headache.

The log file isn't on a network drive by any chance?

No, its on the C: drive - When running the application as an application it's fine but the service isn't running as expected.

I've also noticed that while UAC is disabled and the user I'm logged in as is part of the local admin group, I'm still required to run the likes of PS and our Service Control Manager as administrator.

Any ideas?

Did you add the user running the service to the "allow run as service" in the local security policy?

Yes although it does it automatically if you've not done it manually.
