User Action

Assign "Log on as a service" to the service account on this computer.

You can use Local Security Settings (Secpol.msc) to do this.

If this computer is a node in a cluster, check that this user right is assigned to the Cluster service account on all nodes in the cluster.

 

If you have already assigned this user right to the service account, and the user right appears to be removed,

check with your domain administrator to find out if a Group Policy object associated with this node might be removing the right.

Cause

The "Log on as a service." right is required for the account that is being used in the Altiris services.
