Log4j not working with Tomcat Service for Windows but working with startup.bat

Question

Log4j not logging when I use Tomcat's Windows Service, but working with startup.bat

Java Options for Tomcat Window Service

-Dcatalina.home=D:\CSA\apache-tomcat-7.0.62
-Dcatalina.base=D:\CSA\apache-tomcat-7.0.62    
-Djava.endorsed.dirs=D:\CSA\apache-tomcat-7.0.62\endorsed    
-Djava.io.tmpdir=D:\CSA\apache-tomcat-7.0.62\temp    
-Djava.util.logging.manager=org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager    
-Djava.util.logging.config.file=D:\CSA\apache-tomcat-7.0.62\conf\logging.properties    
-Djava.security.policy=D:\CSA\apache-tomcat-7.0.62\conf\catalina.policy    
-Dlog4j.debug

The difference in Service and Startup.bat log is

log4j: setFile ended

Debug with Window Service gave following output

**Able to track the issue** - The issue is "Log on as" in Tomcat, authorized to a remote repository. And to write logs we need it mapped to "Local System Account". But now new issue arises how to map both ? — user2870419, Aug 06 '15 at 15:35
