Need command to edit a service's log on to Local System Account

Question

When you right click a service in services.msc and go to properties and Log On, it lets you change it to Local System account, how can I switch to that setting with a batch command, I want to switch Telnet to use Local System Account.

Solution 1

I think you can use:

sc config "Service Name" obj= LocalSystem

Note: You need to open command prompt as Administrator.

Solution 2

Use the versatile SC command:

sc config "<ServiceName>" obj= "<AccountName>" password= "<Password>"

Note: the spaces after "obj=" and "password=" are required!

This sets the Log On property of This account and not Local System account
