WebLogic service not reading Boot Identity file

Question

I created a new ActiveDirectoryAuthenticator user for our WebLogic server and added the credentials to the boot.properties file under the <Server>/security folder. When I start the server with startWebLogic.cmd it boots it correctly with the specified user. However when I go through the example, http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E13222_01/wls/docs81b/adminguide/winservice.html, to create the service or try to modify the script that someone had created a few years ago, it does not boot the server with the correct user.

What am I doing wrong?

I actually was able to get it to work by making the service run with that user as well instead of LOCAL SYSTEM.
