Have you double-checked no one restricted the accounts User's Logon hours??
It's not clear from your post, does the service ever start by itself without intervention? What privileges and user rights does this service account have on the system[s] it runs a service on? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 18, 2008 9:09 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Sevice login problems Greetings! This may be a bit weird, but... We are in the process of having a VOIP system installed. This system is completely software-driven, that is, there is no proprietry switch involved. It runs on Windows2003 Server. There is an administrator account which must be a domain member but NOT a domain administrator. The servers are in the domain, which is Win2003 AD. There is a critical service which must be started under this account. It is set to start up automatically. Overnight, something bad happens, and it seems to be consistant. During the day, this service can be stopped and started with no problem. However, the next day, if the service is stopped (or the system re-booted for some reason), the automatic service will not start... This local administrator must log into the console, select the service, and start it manually. The administrator is then prompted for the user name and password. Then it starts (and can be re-started for the rest of the day...). We're not finding anything obvious in the event logs. Any hints or ideas?
