Windows Service Security Question

Hello,

We have a service that basically is a backup service that ends up copying a file to a remote computer over the network. When it copies the file over the network we run into security permission errors because the service isn't running as the administrators permissions. I can set the permissions manually by going into the service, clicking Log On, then selecting the Administrator to log on with and run the service under. As far as the ServiceAccount property in the ServiceProcessInstaller class, what should that be set to and how do I run this with full permissions when the computer is on and no users are necessarily logged on, so that I don't have to go into Services, then Log On, and explicitly type the Administrator username and password?

Thanks.
