Windows Service Parameters

When you upgrade MarkLogic Server on Windows as a different user from the user that installed the previous version, the MarkLogic Server service parameters in the Windows registry will be changed. When the old version of MarkLogic Server is uninstalled, the service is deleted from the registry, including any customizations to the service parameters. When the new version of MarkLogic Server is installed, the service is re-created in the registry with the default service parameters.

Before starting the upgraded version of MarkLogic Server, make any customization to the service parameters. Otherwise, the default service parameters will be set, and MarkLogic Server will start up running as the local system user. Any MarkLogic Server configuration files saved as the local system user (such as those modified when making changes in the Admin Interface) will be created with the Windows file permissions for the local system user.
