&lt;p&gt;I was implementing SQL server hardening via PowerShell DSC and one of the requirement was to have Lock Pages In Memory enabled for SQL Service account. There was a powershell script created and available from &lt;a href="http://keepingitgeek.blogspot.com/2015/01/grant-sql-server-account-access-to-lock.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;blog post&lt;/a&gt; by keepingitgeek.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I converted this to a DSC module for my use. The code snippet is added below.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
