Customizations

Hello,

I need to change the logon account on the RpcSs service to the Local System account. I realize that a reboot would be in order to effect the change, but am unclear of what type of script would need to be done for this??

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

You can use the “Windows Registry Wizard” to create an action that will do this.

My guess is that you change the value ObjectName to be LocalSystem for the key HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\RpcSs
