We have here two separate systems with the same problem... The environment is Win2003 sp2 Native AD.
The servers in question are all stand-alone boxes (non-DCs). For both systems, the instructions say a domain user account must be created. Then that account must be an administrator on that specific machine... Things run for a while. However if anything stops the service (a re-boot, or simply trying to re-set the service), the service fails to start due to a login error. One must go into "Services -> Properties -> Login" and re-enter the password for that account. (The account name is shown, along with a pair of rows of black dots in the Password fields.) We are then told "[Account] has been granted to log in as a service". THEN the service can be started. What needs to be done to eliminate this need to go re-enter a password? As it is now, "Automatic" services are far from being automatic!
