Windows Service does not start on reboot

[Guest Charlie Russel - MVP]

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.

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
