Every time I start the Update Services on my Windows Server 2003, I get the following error: Error 1069: The service did not start due to a logon failure. I applied the suggested fix from this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555989 but problem remains. There can be many reason for error 1069, antivirus, dependent services, corrupt dll file or anything else.You can look for the virus/worm infection on the system or it can other software installed on the system might be the cause. You can also use sfc /scannow to repair the corrupt system file. Make sure system is running with latest SP & Patches. Frankly, this post has nothing to do with the directory services & its better suitable for the general forum. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winservergen/threads Awinish Vishwakarma - MVP My Blog: awinish.wordpress.com Disclaimer This posting is provided AS-IS with no warranties/guarantees and confers no rights.

Hi, Please also check is there any policy set that only some allowed domain accounts could be used as logon services? The setting is located: Computer configuration\Windows settings\security settings\Local policies\User rights assignment\Log on as a service, details you can refer to: Add the Log on as a service right to an account http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc739424(v=ws.10).aspx Regards, Cicely
