I don't think so. But the account must have the "Log on as service" user right. You can give it that right either using the "User Manager" or Win32::Lanman::GrantPrivilegeToAccount('', SE_SERVICE_LOGON_NAME, 'the_username').
If you set the account for a service using Service Manager, the specified account gets that right automaticaly. Sorry I forgot about this before.
