I've created a bare-bones NServiceBus endpoint (which doesn't do anything for now), and when I install it (using NServiceBus.Host.exe /install /displayName:"MyEndpoint"
), it gets installed as a service
that runs under Local Service, and it works perfectly.
Now, when I change the Run as account for this Windows Service to my own local service account (lets call it "svcTestAccount" for now, it has Logon as a service permission), the service starts and then unexpectedly stops halfway during its initialization.
I can't tell why, since no exceptions get logged to log4net, the process just terminates. I've seen this behaviour before in a previous project when the endpoint couldn't access the queue it needed, but this time I have configured the 5 queues that my endpoint to give "Everyone" "Full Control", so it shouldn't be that, right?
What's strange is that, when I run it (using the NServiceBus.Host.exe on production profile), it happily runs in all the following situations:
The only thing that doesn't work is getting it to run as a Windows Service under svcTestAccount (and not being a member of the local Administrators group).
Can anybody tell me what's going on?
For completeness sake, my endpoint only consists of:
public class EndpointConfig : IConfigureThisEndpoint, AsA_Publisher, IWantCustomInitialization
{
public void Init()
{
Configure.With()
.DefaultBuilder()
.Log4Net();
}
}
And my web.config:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<configuration>
<configSections>
<section name="UnicastBusConfig" type="NServiceBus.Config.UnicastBusConfig, NServiceBus.Core" />
</configSections>
<UnicastBusConfig>
<MessageEndpointMappings>
</MessageEndpointMappings>
</UnicastBusConfig>
</configuration>
I'm using NServiceBus 4.3.0 on Windows Server 2012.
To run NServiceBus host as a different account (not Local System) you need to execute the installer with /username
and /password
, eg:
NServiceBus.Host.exe /install /displayName:"MyEndpoint" /username:"mydomain\username" /password:"mysecretpassword"
See http://docs.particular.net/NServiceBus/the-nservicebus-host#installation for more info.
