I don't know if it will help, but the server, does it have a domain controller? If that's true, then you could try to create a user that your database process can run under. You would probably need to give the user administrative rights and also give the user permission to 'log on as a service'.
My experience with domain controllers is that nothing works out of the box anymore.
