Guest Charlie Russel - MVP Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 Try setting the service for delayed automatic start. (that's a new option in Server 2k8.) You're likely running into a timing issue. That being said, the service needs to be a _service_, with no console or active user logon required. But I'm assuming here that you've met that requirement and it's a real service. -- Charlie. http://msmvps.com/blogs/xperts64 http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/charlie.russel "Usman Jamil" <usman@advcomm.net> wrote in message news:utKD2w$FJHA.224@TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... > Hi > > I'm running domain controller and I have a service that I want to run > under a particular active directory user.

Guest Usman Jamil Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 Windows Service does not start on reboot Hi I'm running domain controller and I have a service that I want to run under a particular active directory user. The service gets started from SCM if I start it. But it does not start automatically on a reboot and the error logged in the event viewer is The service did not start due to a logon failure I've rechecked the username, its password. I've also granted it "Log on as Service" rights. I dont know why does it happen only when the system reboots. Otherwise once you log on to system and manually start it, it gives no error. P.S I'm running a 64 bit Windows 2008 machine. Regards Usman
