I do this because when you try and add the localsystem account as: NT
AUTHORITY\SYSTEM, it will not check the "Local System account"
radiobutton under the "Log On" tab in the service properties.
It will instead select the "This account:" radiobutton and add NT
AUTHORITY\SYSTEM as the username.
So what i do, is when the user selects what account to use in a dialog,
i do the simple logic:
if (Local System is selected)
{
SERVICEACCOUNTFULLNAME = "LocalSystem"
}
else
{
SERVICEACCOUNTFULLNAME = "[WINDOWSDOMAIN]\[WINDOWSUSERNAME]"
}
where WINDOWSDOMAIN and WINDOWSUSERNAME are edit boxes in that dialog
with these properties.
This way, i tackle both cases.
-When i add as account "LocalSystem", it actually selects the "Local
System account" radiobutton under the "Log On" tab in the service
properties.
-When i add as account [WINDOWSDOMAIN]\[WINDOWSUSERNAME] then the user
account is added in the selected "This account:" radiobutton under the
"Log On" tab in the service properties.
This is the only way i found to handle this situation without having to
define 2 components, which i didn't like as a solution, don't ask me why
:P I don't know either :)
