Description:
In a windows environment, some users may find it necessary to change the CA Service Desk Server services "Log On As" with a domain user or a user other than Local System.

Solution:
Locate the NX.env environment file in $NX_ROOT (root install directory of the Service Desk application) and open it in a word editor. Append the following variable to the bottom of the NX.env file:
@NX_PARADIGMUSER=<your account for the service>
You will append the user you have designated as the user that replaced Local System. Based on the screenshots above an example of this would be:
@NX_PARADIGMUSER=<your account for the service>
It is not necessary to specify domain information for the user in the @NX_PARADIGMUSER variable.
