Hi All Due to some reason I had to delete the ILM Service. I followed the following steps 1. Deleted the ILM Service account - ILMService 2. Recreated the mail enabled ILM Service account - ILMService 3. Added the ILM Service account to the group - FIMAdmin 4. Updated the ILM Service log on details 5. Deleted the SQL Login for old ILM Service account 6. Granted the necessary login rights to ILM Service account Now when I start the ILM Service I get the following error message, "The Forefront Identity Manager Service service on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other service or programs." In the event log, I see the following error, Service cannot be started. System.ServiceModel.AddressAccessDeniedException: HTTP could not register URL http://+:5725/. Your process does not have access rights to this namespace (see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=70353 for details). ---> System.Net.HttpListenerException: Access is denied at System.Net.HttpListener.AddAll() at System.Net.HttpListener.Start() at System.ServiceModel.Channels.SharedHttpTransportManager.OnOpen() --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at Microsoft.ResourceManagement.WindowsHostService.OnStart(String[] args) at System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase.ServiceQueuedMainCallback(Object state) What could be wrong? I hope that I dont have to uninstall/install ILM Service. TIA Sachin
