Services losing password on reboot

[Guest]

I have one server that when I reboot several of the services lose their log
on a service password.
What happens is the services are running fine-when I reboot the services
won't startup. When I go to the service and reset the password for startup
they then will startup. I don't change the password I just re-enter it.
Anyone know what's up.

Well, what account are they using?? Are they trying to start with
LocalService Account??

You might try them as a domain admin, though this is a security risk.

The best solution is to determine exactly what permissions they need and to
create separate accounts for each of them... or at least for each vendor.
Like one account for all APC services and another for all BackupExec.

Then turn on auditing to monitor the accounts.
