Changing the account used to run the Storage
Mirroring service
By default, the Storage Mirroring service is configured to log on as the system account. If
you want to select a specific account to run the service, use these instructions.
Note: If you are protecting full-server workloads, you cannot modify the account used to
run the Storage Mirroring service. Otherwise, the full-server protection will not
function correctly.

a. Open the Storage Mirroring service settings by selecting Start, Programs,
Administrative Tools, Services and double-clicking the Storage Mirroring
service.

account.
c. Enter the password for this account.
d. Click OK to save these settings.
2. Grant an additional user right to the account you are using to run the Storage
Mirroring service.
If domain-level policy settings are defined (through Domain Security Policy,
Security Settings, Local Policies, User Rights Assignment), they will override
local policy settings.
a. Select Start, Programs, Administrative Tools, Local Security Policy.
b. Expand the Local Policies folder and highlight the User Rights
Assignment folder.
c. Double-click the option Act as part of operating system on the right pane of
the screen.
