Is this a new install? If not, maybe a software update did it. Also, every W2k8 server I've checked used the Local System account for the server service.

HP G6's 70 gig Ram 24 cores. Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise with terminal services enabled. The server service will not start. I get an error: Services Windows could not start the Server service on Local Computer Error: 1808: The account used is a computer account. Use your Global user account or local user account to access this server. The event log shows: Log Name: System Source: Service Control Manager Date: 5/13/2011 11:10:28 AM Event ID: 7023 Task Category: None Level: Error Keywords: Classic User: N/A Computer: us01sbureg1.internal.synopsys.com Description: The Server service terminated with the following error: The account used is a computer account. Use your global user account or local user account to access this server. Note: This was built from a wim file. I have done many things. Sfc /scannow Reinstalled file and print Played with the user accounts on the service. Nothing seems to be able to correct it and it's a weird error. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
