Win 10 Home + WMC - NETWORK SERVICE

[Johnny Sideburnz 5]

Sorry, but I am completely stuck on this one issue I only have Windows 10 Home Edition. I have searched for days trying to find a walkthrough or something to guide me though using command prompt to add "NETWORK SERVICE." I would greatly appreciate anybody's assistance with this issue:

 

Add NETWORK service to the administrators group in order for scheduled recordings to start correctly.

 

To make WMC wake up for recordings, you may need to make "NETWORK SERVICE" a member of the administrator group

 

Run lusrmgr.msc, or right-click on Start button and select: Computer Management > Local users & Groups

then: Groups > Administrators > Add > "network service" > Check names > OK

 

or directly open command prompt as administrator:

for /f "usebackq delims=" %x in (`powershell "(New-Object System.Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier('S-1-5-32-544')).Translate([system.Security.Principal.NTAccount]).Value.Split([iO.Path]::DirectorySeparatorChar)[1]"`) do set "admins=%x"

for /f "usebackq delims=" %x in (`powershell "(New-Object System.Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier('S-1-5-20')).Translate([system.Security.Principal.NTAccount]).Value"`) do set "netsvc=%x"

net localgroup %admins% "%netsvc%" /add

 

Windows 10 Home edition don't have Group Policy, thus you need to try the command prompt directly.

Not 100% sure but think you may need a Pro version of Windows to do this.
