Unable to change the Service account??

I did an install with Sharepoint 2010 RTM and have it working well but when I checked the Monitoring - Review Problems and solutions it states a security concern that the Farm Account should not be used for other services.  At this stage I have to change out the timer service since it is using the farm account.  But I don't see the timer service in the "Security - Manage service Accounts" location.  I created a timer account with no problems but how does one go about changing the timer service to use this account?  I know I can go to services and change it there but I am wondering if there is a need to do this within Sharepoint?  Am I missing a credential management piece that did not show up in the list of services? Any help would be appreciated Workerbee09  By the way, The problem points to a failing service SPTimerService (SPTimerV4) but its started and working cause I can see services being started and history of the service where it was successfull.

I created a WCF service that has a method which makes a call to a SOAP web service over the internet. In order to make a call to the SOAP web service, it requires that an X.509 certificate be sent with the HttpWebRequest. The X.509 certificates are loaded in the Personal and Trusted Certificate store of the account which the service is running under. When the service account is logged into the server, everything works just fine. However, when the service account is not physically logged onto the server, it has problems loading up the X.509 certificate and fails authentication when trying to make the HttpWebRequest. I am new to WCF services so I don't even know where to start looking. Can anyone please help? Thanks in advance.

I associated User Profile Synchronization Service with managed account "svcebrd" in CA. For some reason this created duplicated managed account. Now there are two "svcebrd" under Configure Managed Account. If I try do delete one of the accounts in CA I get "key has already been added in dictionary". Running Remove-SPManagedAccount fails with "The account Dev\svcebrd is still being used by ... User Profile Syncronization Service".

Does anybody know powershell command to changed service application account?

 

Hi,

I changed on the SQL Server service account to a least priviledge domain user.  However after the change, one of my sqljob which use sp_send_dbmail is not functioning. after checking on the log, it mentioned no permission. i tried to set the MSSQLUser Group as db_owner of msdb database, but it was not helping. When i set the MSSQLUser group as sysadmin ,then only the job able to send email. what could be the least priviledge of the service account so that i able to send email via sql job?

Hi,

I change service account for user profile service application from spfarm to spservice . and then FIM Synchronization Service is stopped and i found this error in event viewer.

"The server encryption keys could not be accessed.

User Action

Verify that the service account has permissions to the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Forefront Identity Manager\2010\Synchronization Service

If the problem persists, run setup and restore the encryption keys from backup."

But i tried to set the permission for spservice in registry. Still can't start the FIM Synchronization Service and also the log on as "Account" is changed to spservice .

When I change to spfarm for User Profile Service Application, it is working fine.

Please advise me that what do i need to configure for spservice ?

Thanks.

Hi,

I have developed a wcf service for asp.net ajax client. It includes the following steps.

(1) Created WCF sevice contract with the operation "DoWork()" which will take string as input and retun string as output.

(2)Implemented the above operation contract(attributed the implementation class with aspnetcompatibility requirement as enabled).

(3)Added the webscriptenabled to endpoint in web.config file.

(4)Hosted the wcf servie. 

(5)Downloaded the javascript file from the service.(e.g.,http://localhost/service1.svc/js)

Client

(1)Opend new asp.net webapplication.

(2)Added the downloaded .js file.

(3)Given the scripts path for ajaxscript manager as both .js file and service url.

e.g

<asp:ScriptManager ID="id1"

Error Consuming Web Service - Unable to import binding xxx from namespace ...

  

In VS2008 / C# / ASP.NET 3.5, I wrote a test web service app. Here is an extract from the code:

namespace emed.MathWebService
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Sample Math Services For Learning Web Services Deployment
    /// </summary>
    [WebService(Namespace = " http://localhost/MathService")]
    [WebServiceBinding(ConformsTo = WsiProfiles.BasicProfile1_1)]
    [ToolboxItem(false)]
    public class MathService
    {
        [WebMethod]
        public float Add(float a, float b)
        {
            return a + b;
        }  

.......

I have published this to an IIS virtual directory named MathService, and when I try to launch it with the URL http://localhost/mathservice/MathService.asmx is works fine and displays all the operations (Add, Subtract etc) in the service.

I then created a test web application in VS2008 (named WebSvcTe
