Craig,
Good morning!
Working in IT, I understand how hard it is to troubleshoot an issue
with an incomplete picture. I wanted to tell you that your suggestion
worked! I removed the postgres account from the local administrators
group, restarted the VM and the service started (I had to re-enter the
service account password so the account could be given the "logon as a
service" right). So we'll see where things go from there. I really
appreciate your suggestion and it might be something that you can put
in the manuals.
Glad to hear it worked.
It's not so much something that should be documented, as something that
should give a useful error message when it happens, or should handle the
error and start correctly.
Adding additional rights should *NOT* cause the Pg service to fail. If
it's decided that it should for security reasons, a conf flag should be
available to allow those who genuinely feel they need the added privs to
enable them. A useful error should be emitted.
That said, I find developing on Windows to be a lot like a dentist visit
without anesthetic, so I'm not going to be stepping up to implement it
;-) .
