Enable 'Deny Logon locally' for Service Accounts - impacts

Hello All,
I am planning to implement Deny Logon locally for Domain Service Accounts. There are several Service accounts for which I want to prohibit log on for any computers/servers.
Before implementing this policy I wanted to know the impact as many service accounts are configured in some application related services, read data from database etc.
Please let me know if this causes any impact.

No it doesn't if your service accounts are used properly. You might want
to grant "logon as batch", too.

Deny log in for service accounts

I need to disable the ability for service accounts to log into servers and/or workstations. I've looked at GPO and local security policy options. Both HIPAA and PCI auditors are requiring this control. What is the best way to do this?

Hi,
How is the issue going? I agree with Shaun. However, if you need further help regarding the issue, please don't hesitate to let us know.

Denying logon to an administrative account

I'm trying to find a way for user accounts that are used to elevate privileges cannot be logged on to. Like "Deny local logon"
but with the added benefit of elevating a command prompt with that account.
Anything like this exist in GPOs? Or any other kind of solution that can give me the same results?

Hi,
To deny logon access at the domain level to service administrators,
please try the following steps:
Log on with Domain Admins credentials, and then open Active Directory Users and Computers.
In the console tree, right-click
domain name, and then click
Properties.
On the
Group Policy tab, click
Default Domain Policy, and then click
Edit.
Expand the policy tree to Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies, and then click
User Rights Assignment.
In the details pane, double-click
Deny logon locally.
Click
Define these policy settings, and then click
Add.
Add all of the service administrator accounts (Administrators, Schema Admins, Enterprise Admins, Domain Admins, Server Operators, Backup Operators, and Account Operators) to the
list.
Also, follow the procedure as below for restoring logon capability to administrators so that they can log on to administrative workstations.

BOL says : Only the account under which the SQL Server service account runs is granted NTFS permissions to the FILESTREAM container.So, if you start SQL Server under different account , that account wil have access to use fliestream data (read / write)
At the database level ,If a user has permission to the FILESTREAM column in a table, the user can open the associated files..

Best practice for service account?

Hello guys,
May I ask what's the best practice to have and maintain a service account?
For ConfigMgr, you may need to have a service account for e.g client install.
An employee who run this service just depart, and we realize we don't have service account credential left to our knowlege.
So let say we have to reset it, and reconfigure back the service account with new credential, what's the best practice to have this credential kept in safe and can be retrieved back for future use?
Do you keep it in a secured email? Secured envelope? How you maintain it in a big organization.
Please throw me some ideas. Thank you very much :)
p/s: this issue may not restrict to ConfigMgr only, you may need service account for SQL, IIS and etc.

Example for Service Account API's usage

Hello,
Can anybody provide an example (a small class) on how to use the service account API's in order to move a resource from one user to another?
Regards,
Adrian

You can use the following API to turn the instance into a Service Account type.
changeToServiceAccount(long plObjectInstanceForUserKey) -> You should be able to map the Process Insance Key for this value.
Once the instance is made into a service account type, you can use the following code to move it to another user:
moveServiceAccount(long plObjectInstanceForUserKey, long plTargetUserKey) -> Again provide the Process Instance Key and the User Key of the target user and it will move the resource instance from the current profile, to the new users profile.

Confusion as to user / logon info for ePrint account

Printer is correctly set up for ePrint with email address [edited]@hpeprint.com - at least I get an acknowledgment mail from hp when attempting to send a mail to that email for print. But the mail sent to [edited email by [email protected] doesn't actually get printed ...
I cannot log on to my account to check who is allowed to send mail to it for print. When I try to log on as user "[edited}@hpeprint.com", I have unfortunately forgotten the password.
However, it refuses to send a new one to my email address (same as my userID on this Forum) -- the system answers that this mail is not the email for me. Which I strongly believe it is ;o)
Pls assist.
Rgds,
G. Hauge

Hi @Ghau
When you created your HP Connected/HP ePrintCenter account, you would have used a personal email address to create your account. If you don’t know the password to log in but still know the email you used to create the account, please call HP’s Cloud Services at 1-855-785-2777 if you live in the USA/Canada region. If you live outside the USA/Canada region please click here to find the Technical Support number for your country/region.
Please let me know the outcome.

Difference Between Service Account and User Account

What is the Difference Between Service Account and User Account

Hello Mohit,
Basically there are two types of approches which you should understand.
In many environments, administrators prefer to simply create a domain user account and assign appropriate privileges to it. Then this user account is used in order to start a specific service on a computer.
In that case there is really no difference between a user account and the so called service accounts. Since this service account is simply a domain user, all the task related to managing the domain users apply to it. For example you
should keep the password up to date manually. Some environment move step forward and assign
Deny Logon Locally of this type of service account in order to enhance the security.
The second concept is Managed Service Accounts. There are plenty of differences between a Managed Service Account and a User Account.
The Display Icon is different from a view perspective.
The type of object is different.
Managed service accounts password management is automatic.
You can not create Managed Service Accounts using GUI. They are only created using Powershell.
You can refer to link below for more inormation:
Service Accounts Step-by-Step Guide

SQL 2012 service accounts best practice

I'm installing SQL Server 2012 for ConfigMgr 2012 r2 and I wonder what is the best practice for SQL service accounts.
During the installation of SQL Server, in the server configuration/Service accounts menu I'm allowed to configure following service accounts: SQL Server Agent, SQL Server Agent Database Engine, SQL Server Reporting Services, SQL Server Browser.
Do I have to create separate domain user (not admin) accounts for each service and configure service principal name (SPN) for all of them?
For example: Domain user account named SQLSA for SQL Server Agent, another domain user account
SQLADBE for SQL Server Agent Database Engine etc.

During the installation of SQL Server 2012, the user is prompted to provide service account
credentials. The default service accounts suggested vary depending on whether SQL Server
2012 is installed on a computer running Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008 or on a computer
running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2. On computers running Windows Vista
or Windows Server 2008 operating systems, the following default service accounts are used:
- NETWORK SERVICE Database Engine, SQL Server Agent, Analysis Services,
Integration Services, Reporting Services, SQL Server Distributed Replay Controller,
SQL Server Distributed Replay Client
- LOCAL SERVICE SQL Server Browser, FD Launcher (Full-Text Search)
- LOCAL SYSTEM SQL Server VSS Writer
On computers running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 operating systems, the following
default accounts are used:
- Virtual Account or Managed Service Account Database Engine, SQL Server Agent,
Analysis Services, Integration Services, Replication Services, SQL Server Distributed
Replay Controller, SQL Server Distributed Replay Client, FD Launcher (Full-Text Search)
- LOCAL SERVICE SQL Server Browser
- LOCAL SYSTEM SQL Server VSS Writer
For Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, you can use a Managed Service Account
(MSA) or a Managed Local Account. The differences between these account types are as
follows:
- Managed Service Account (MSA) This special kind of domain account managed
by a domain controller is assigned to a single member computer and used for running
services. The MSA password is managed by the domain controller. MSAs can register
a Service Principal Name (SPN) with Active Directory. MSAs use a $ name suffix; for
example, CONTOSO\SQL-A-MSA$. You must create the MSA prior to running SQL
Server Setup if you want to use an MSA with SQL Server services.
- Virtual Accounts or Managed Local Accounts These virtual accounts can access
the network in a domain environment and are used by default for service accounts
during SQL Server 2012 setup when run on Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2.
Such accounts use the NT SERVICE\<SERVICENAME>format. You don’t need to specify
a password when using virtual accounts with SQL Server 2012 because this is handled
automatically by the operating system.
You should run SQL Server services, using the minimum possible user rights, and use an
MSA or virtual account when possible. If you are manually configuring service accounts, use
separate accounts for different SQL Server services. If it is necessary to change the properties
of service accounts used for SQL Server 2012, use SQL Server tools such as SQL Server
Configuration Manager. This ensures that all necessary dependencies are
updated, which does not happen if you use only the Services console.
Although you can configure domain accounts as service accounts, this strategy requires
more effort because you must ensure that service account passwords are changed regularly.
You must also manage SPNs, which are required for Kerberos authentication.

Service account provisioning

Hi all,
I have read in the documentation(Design Client) that OIM connector provides different prvisioning process for Service account (there are alltogether separate tasks for these accounts under process definition) and Normal account for each target resource. Could any one please elaborate me how to process service account provisioning (if there is any difference) as there is no documentation stating underline.

Hi ,
I am having the same concern. I want to implement service account management through OIM ,OOB AD connector provides by default tasks to handle service account scenerio. Please provide the suggestion regrding the implementation of service account provisioning, if there is any document related to it, will be quite helpfull.
Thanks

Sorry but that makes no sense in English. Only your mobile phone company (i.e. "carrier") can enable the Personal Hotspot feature.

Hi,
It seems that you know the group policy “Log on as a service” can achieve your goal, so I would like to confirm what do you want to ask?
If you do not know the path of the group policy “Log on as a service” in domain, you may expend Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security
Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment\Log on as a service in GPMC.

Hi Ychinnari,
I have tested on my local environment and can reproduce the issue, as
Vaishu00547 mentioned that the issue can be caused by the Execution Account you have configured in the Reporting Services Configuration Manager is not correct, Please update the Username and Password and restart the reporting services.
Please also find more details information about when to use the execution account, if possible,please also not specify this account:
This account is used under special circumstances when other sources of credentials are not available:
When the report server connects to a data source that does not require credentials. Examples of data sources that might not require credentials include XML documents and some client-side database applications.
When the report server connects to another server to retrieve external image files or other resources that are referenced in a report.
Execution Account (SSRS Native Mode)
If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.
