Guest John Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 Hi, I have a Win2k SP4 member server with an odd problem. Any of the services will only start if using the "local system account". If I select any other account e.g. domain admin, I get a time out message when I try to start the service and a message saying the service could not be started. The local security policy "Log on as service" has the domain admins group as well as individual admin accounts listed. The Domain security policy "log on as service" is not defined. The domain controller is windows 2003. Any suggestions please? John
Guest Dave Patrick Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 Re: Services fail to start You may need to set service dependencies. The network may not be available at the time of authentication process. -- Regards, Dave Patrick ....Please no email replies - reply in newsgroup.

Guest John Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 Re: Services fail to start Thanks Dave. Does the network issue apply when I'm restarting running services after changing the logon account while the server is running?

Guest Dave Patrick Posted April 11, 2008 Posted April 11, 2008 Re: Services fail to start No, it shouldn't but since you're changing to a domain account you must require network resources available to your service. Just remember mapped drives won't natively exist so always best to use UNC paths. -- Regards, Dave Patrick ....Please no email replies - reply in newsgroup.
