I've been all over Google, trying to find a way (in PowerShell) to set LocalSystem as the LogOn identity for a Windows service. All scripts/functions I found are for setting a "real user", I need to set LocalSystem

Just to clarify, I am talking about an existing service, not installing a new service. I would create it this way but I have no control over the creation of the service.

Anyone has any idea how to do this?

Thanks

The SYSTEM acocunt is `NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM` or just `SYSTEM`. – Ansgar Wiechers Jan 17 '17 at 12:12
The default for a service is Local System so you might just need to change the way you initially create the service. – henrycarteruk Jan 17 '17 at 12:19
I added some clarification, this is not about installing a new service. How do I "unflag" the duplicate? – Mickey Cohen Jan 19 '17 at 15:52
