Change the Site24x7 Windows server monitoring agent from SYSTEM user to another domain user

You can change the service logon to your own account, provided that account has elevated privilege (since we perform few registry write operations). Follow the steps below to change the service logon:

1. Log in to the computer with administrative privileges.
   
2. Open Administrative Tools > Services.
   
   
3. Scroll through the list and right-click any Site24x7 service and select Properties.
   
   
4. Go to Log On tab. Select This Account > add the login details.
   
   
5. Start the service.
   

Ensure the automatic agent upgrade option (Auto upgrade agent when a new version is available) is set to No in the Admin > Server Monitor > Settings page. Else, the user will change to System user again when there is an agent upgrade.
