Services won’t start

If you're facing difficulties in starting the gytpol GPMC Proxy service or any other service that is supposed to run under a user account (instead of the SYSTEM account), there are a couple of important factors to consider:

1. User Credentials: Ensure that you have correctly entered the username and password for the user account that the service is supposed to run under. Mistyped or incorrect credentials will prevent the service from starting.

2. Logon as a Service Privilege: To run a service under a specific user account, that user account needs to have the "Logon as a Service" privilege. If this privilege is not granted, the service will not be able to start. You can check and grant this privilege by following these steps:

• Open the Local Security Policy editor (secpol.msc) on the server.

• Navigate to "Local Policies" > "User Rights Assignment."

• Look for the "Log on as a service" policy.

• Add the user account you're using for the service to this policy. If the account is not listed, you can add it.

User Group Membership: The user account should be a member of the appropriate groups required for the service to function correctly. These groups might include "Administrators" or other custom groups necessary for GYTPOL services.

By verifying and ensuring these factors, you can troubleshoot issues related to starting services under specific user accounts. Proper user credentials, privileges, and group memberships are essential for services to run smoothly and reliably.
