1. Install Bamboo Application Server

  1. Download Bamboo and run the Setup Wizard.
  2. Install Bamboo as Windows service, as described in the Bamboo Installation Guide (Windows).

2. Edit the Bamboo service to run as the "local user"

  1. Go to Start -> Run and enter 'services.msc'.
  2. The 'Services' window will display (see screenshot below). Double-click the 'Bamboo build server' row.
  3. The 'Bamboo build server Properties' window will display (see screenshot above). Select the 'This account' option and click the 'OK' button to apply your changes.

3. Give the local user access to "logon as a service"

  1. Go to Start -> Run and enter 'secpol.msc'
  2. The 'Local Security Settings' window will display. Expand the 'Local Policies' tree and click 'User Rights Assignment'.
  3. Scroll down and find the 'Logon As a Service' Policy (see screenshot below). Double-click the 'Log on as a service' policy.
  4. The properties window for the 'Log on as a service' policy will display (see screenshot below). Click the 'Add User or Group' button.
  5. The 'Select Users or Groups' window will display (see screenshot above). Enter your local user and click 'OK' to allow your user to "logon as a service".
  6. Click 'OK' and close all open windows.

Bamboo will now start as service, under the local user.

    In Windows 2008, when you're assigning a service user in the log on pane, Windows will automatically grant this user "log on as a service" rights on the local machine. And

    you also have to make sure that the service account you've assigned have write permissions on the bamboo-home directory.

      Hi Mads,

      Thanks for your helpful feedback. Can I just confirm that you are referring to Windows Server 2008, when you mention 'Windows 2008'?

      Kind Regards,
      Andrew

    As Mads noticed for Windows 2008, this is also true for Windows 7: the "Log On As a Service Right" is automatically assigned. A message is given by Windows to signify this.

    Is there any way to successfully change the Bamboo service from running as a local account to a domain account? If I change the user the Windows service runs as, when I connect to Bamboo I get just an error page reporting that it could not create the bamboo-home folder....
