Gidley’s Gossipings

In my previous post I had to create a local service account in Vista for Jetty. However I discovered later a side effect - it annoyingly appears on the Vista login screen.

To get rid of it is slightly non-obvious - so

1. Open a command prompt as administrator
2. Run mmc
3. File -> Add Remote Snap In
4. Add the Local Computer Policy
5. In Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> Local Policies -> User Rights Assignment. Add the service user to the Deny log on locally policy.

An then magically it disappears. Obvious heh
