Edit windows service user with a batch script and encrypted password

Question

I need to change the user of a service on Windows using a batch script. Searching the web I found this solution:

sc \\server config ServiceName obj= Domain\user password= pass

The problem is, that i'm not allowed to share the password with the guy that deploys the software. Can I encrypt it somehow?

Answer 1

That is, the person adds the service and have the right to install the software and you are afraid that he sees password?)))

I'm sorry, its current rights is much greater than the rights of the user password.

But you can look over here Encrypt your password in TFS Build using Certificates

What below makes little sense, but can be fun. Use powershell as C# runnable application, powershell script compile to HelloWorld.exe:

Run, and get HelloWorld.exe

powershell .\Hello.ps1

Hello.ps1:

Add-Type -Language CSharpVersion3 -ea 0 -OutputType ConsoleApplication -OutputAssembly HelloWorld.exe @'

using System;

  public class helloWorld
  {
        public static void Main(string[] args)
        {
              Console.WriteLine("Hello World");

        } 
  }  
'@

Good way:

Not need password.
