Running service with virtual account on Windows 8 Server

My service previously run as Local System. Now I need to run it in domain with kerberos authentication. I configured the service to run with virtual account. In Log On tab I changed radio button to This Account: NT SERVICE\MyService

From this point my service fails on start with no logs. The only error I found in the system log is:

Faulting application name: myservice.exe, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x547d6f26
Faulting module name: myservice.exe, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x547d6f26
Exception code: 0xc0000417
Fault offset: 0x0000000000015858
Faulting process id: 0x11bc
Faulting application start time: 0x01d012335247ea86
Faulting application path: C:\Program Files\MyCompany\bin\myservice.exe
Faulting module path: C:\Program Files\MyCompany\bin\myservice.exe
Report Id: 90beca46-7e26-11e4-8aa5-000c298675c1

My service crashes on the method StartServiceCtrlDispatcher.

Maybe I do something wrong or any idea how to start an investigation?

In my case it was write permissions. If your service writes files and you run it in context of MSA, you should grant your MSA write permissions to directories you write to.
