Windows Service Hardening and Application Testing

Testing applications have begun and I am unclear how to configure Windows
Service Hardening. It is the process of creating an user account for a
service set specific ACLs for this account?

Second Question, I just installed an application and a service is
installed. The service runs under the localsystem token. How do I determine
what that service needs access to? How do I move it to a locked down
account?

Thanks!
 
Nice bit of info. here for you about WSH:

If you want a service to run under the local system but a locked down
account, use the NT_AUTHORITY\SYSTEM one. That should be OK :o)
