&quot;any user accounts that are assigned to run services will fail to start the service.&quot;<br />
<br />
This is because the user account is set to run the service WHEN the user logs in. &nbsp;When you reboot the server, the current user login will be aborted. &nbsp;When the server restarts, it does NOT &quot;pick up&quot; where it left off -- the current list of users is essentially terminated by the server. <br />
<br />
Thus, each user has to login AGAIN to re-initiate the service specific to them. &nbsp;The only way to avoid this is to run the services from the server on start up. &nbsp;The idea is, you should not reboot the server that often !!

After rebooting any of my Windows Servers in our domain, any user accounts that are assigned to run services will fail to start the service. &nbsp;I have to manually go into the properties of the service and re-type in the password for that account, receive Log-on Right Granted, and then start the service. &nbsp;It becomes a pain as you need to remember to start these services everything there is a shutdown or reboot.<br />
<br />
any idea why this would be occuring? &nbsp;i'm thinking it has something to do with domain rights or group policies. &nbsp;You help is greately appreciated.

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD). This topic includes all things Active Directory including DNS, Group Policy, DFS, troubleshooting, ADFS, and all other topics under the Microsoft AD and identity umbrella.

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).

Operating systems perform basic tasks, such as recognizing input from the keyboard, sending output to the display screen, keeping track of files and directories on the disk, and controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and printers. For large systems, the operating system makes sure that different programs and users running at the same time do not interfere with each other. The operating system is also responsible for security, ensuring that unauthorized users do not access the system. Operating systems provide a software platform on top of which other programs, called application programs, can run.
