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.

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?

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.
