Windows Services Automatic Startup Type

[Dilmer Valecillos]

Hi All,

We've been expiriencing some issues when patches are applied and servers
restarted after completing downloading and installation of patches sent using
WSUS. Our main problem occurs when servers start. Windows Services such as
SQL Agent, Exchange services, and others are set to Automatic using a domain
account to run the service with. This at first seems to be hands free the
server restarts for x reason and services should automatically start, however
even having them set to automatic seems to caused issues when the services
use a domain account. Everytime this occurs we need to retype the domain
account password in order to the service to start, it's like the password
never gets retained.

Any Ideas?

Dilmer,

Suggest you post this to the WSUS newsgroup:
http://www.microsoft.com/communitie...crosoft.public.windows.server.update_services

I would have forwarded it to the WSUS NG but you're using a web-based
newsreader.
