For one server only, services now run only under local system - no

[Guest dk2]

Situation: Database server with several networked apps. Several apps are set

up to use services that those apps have created, e.g. backup exec and

"Track-It!". Each app had a service account under which it was run (generally

domain administrator).

 

few weeks ago the services could not start under domain admin, but can under

local system. At least one cannot just leave it alone as a work around

because it uses an outlook profile on the machine and local system, I'm told,

won't work with the profile.

 

only server in domain with this issue

The event log may provide some detail. Make sure the account has appropriate

policy permissions on local machine such as logon as a service.
