Guest S Sainsbury Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 We had to do a system wide password change a couple of months back, as such we had to update some of the services that use domain accounts and also scheduled tasks. Since then every time there is a reboot or a service restart, the service or scheduled task will fail due to a logon failure. So again we reply the passwords and the service or scheduled task works............... But as soon as the service or server is rebooted, or in the case of a scheduled task, the next time its due to run, again it fails due to a logon issue. This has been ongoing for some months, and as you can imagine causes problems, we simply cant use the task scheduler now. I have tried recreating scheduled tasks but the problem remains, obvioulsy with the services I have tried alternate accounts, created new accounts etc, the problem also affects local service accounts not just domain ones. We have about 32 Windows 2003 servers, all running SP1 and all the latest updates, from what I can see all servers have this problem, although its around 7 servers that I have this issue with on a regular basis due to the roles they perform. I can find no information on this problem, am I alone?
Guest S Sainsbury Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 RE: Service & Scheduled Task Passwords Not Being Retained I sorted my own problem. Group policy was set to only allow specific accounts the log on as service and log on as batch rights. The policy had been in place since about a year ago but for whatever reason only sprang into life a couple of months back. I created a dedicated account, added the account to the list of accounts that can run the specified action and then updated the relevent tasks and services, now running ok!
