Today I tried to configure a new SharePoint farm. I got this error:

“The process does not passess the ‘SeSecurityPriviledge’ priviledge which is required for this operation.” – Although the account used to configure SharePoint is local administrator!!

After searching the internet I found that issue and a solution for that.

Check the Local Group policy or the Domain Group Policy and validate the Setting

Computer Configuration => Policies => Windows Settings => Security Settings => Local Policies => User Rights Assignments => Manage auditing and security log

If this setting is defined the account that is used to install SharePoint needs to be member of this setting. – Just add the account or the “local administrators” (“.Administrators”) group.
