Hi Mr Tortur,<br />
<br />
Thanks for the information.<br />
<br />
Would you be able to specifically confirm that the service would have stopped because of the domain controller, I just need a specific answer (sorry about that).<br />
<br />
Also, and this is not necessary, would you happen to have a link to a site which details this?<br />
<br />
Thanks.<br />

Clearly, this is directly related.<br />
<br />

Nope, sorry, I will let you look for it if needed, as this is obvious or there is nothing to prove here :<br />
an AD accound need to be authenticated by a domain controller, even to start a service, so if you don't have DC your user login/password won't work.

My first answer was really clear, wasn't it ?<br />
Hope it's ok for you.

<div>
That's all fine, thank you for your responses Mr Tortur.

Hello all,<br />
<br />
We have created a windows service that a client runs on a server, using a domain account. This is necessary for database access.<br />
<br />
Recently, the domain controller on the server failed, also, the service stopped.<br />
<br />
I would like to know if this is simply a coincidence, or if the domain controller failing is causing the service to stop because of the account being used to run it.<br />
<br />
Thanks.<br />

Domain controller fails - Causing a windows service to stop?

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).

Windows Server 2003

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.

Windows Networking

Network Operations includes asset management, help-desk supervision, security and user policies, infrastructure administration and anything else that affects the operation of your network. Discussions will include those of best practices in platforms, configurations, performance, security and accounting.
