Test windows service logon password

[Brian Stoop]

I have configured a windows service to run as a domain user. I can test the
domain user password by attempting to create a network share using the
password I'm checking.

Is there a way to test the windows logon password has been set to this
value, using SCManager ?


Thanks, B

Are you implying there's a difference between the "domain user password" and
the "windows logon password"? As there isn't.

The password configured in the SCM is stored hashed, so you cannot check its
value. All you can do is start the service -- if this does not result in a
logon failure, the credentials are correct.
