Change the Service Account of a Sharepoint 2010 Service

  • Artikkeli

This seems (and indeed it is) a trivial task. Just go to Sharepoint Central Administration >> Service Accounts
and choose the managed account for the available services in your farm. That’s fine. However if you have changed
the identity of a service to a domain account, then the list does not show the built-in account (local system for instance).
So how can you assign the built in account local system to Sharepoint Services?

Go to Sharepoint 2010 Management Shell

and use the following cmdlets:

$myservice= Get-SPServiceInstance | where {$_.TypeName -eq "put the service name here"}
$myservice.Service.ProcessIdentity.CurrentIdentityType = 0
$myservice.Service.ProcessIdentity.Update()

Note that you can see the list with the available service names by executing the Get-SPServiceInstance cmdlet.

    If you change say the Farm service assignment from NETWORK SERVICE to say a Domain User called SP_Farm, would that work? Or does SP_Farm need to be setup in SQL Express, added as a managed account?

    One thing at a time. Yes you can use a domain user for the service. If the service requires a database (not all services require a database) then yes this account should have the necessary privileges in the database.
