Description
I compiled and ran the sample https://github.com/microsoft/Windows-classic-samples/tree/main/Samples/Win7Samples/security/lsapolicy/lsaprivs. It completed without error, but had no effect.
It's supposed to grant the user the "Log on as a service" permission. But it doesn't. See screenshot.

Research direction
Start with the lsaprivs sample in the linked Win7Samples security/lsapolicy directory and reproduce the reported behavior. Check whether running it changes the user's "Log on as a service" permission, using the screenshot and issue description as the expected result. Done means the sample completes successfully and the permission is actually granted.
