Services fail to start

[Guest John]

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

You may need to set service dependencies. The network may not be available

at the time of authentication process.

Thanks Dave. Does the network issue apply when I'm restarting running

services after changing the logon account while the server is running?

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.
