W32Time Service will not start
When I attempt to start w32time I get the following:
net start w32time
The Windows Time service is starting.
The Windows Time service could not be started.
A system error has occurred.
System error 1792 has occurred.
An attempt was made to logon, but the network logon service was not started.
Then netlogon service is running. This is on Windows 7 x64 Enterprise Ed. I have re-registered w32tm, checked the Group Policy Results and both are O.K. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks...CJ

Under which user is w32time configured to run? It should be set to run
under local service.
Do you have any special GP set, which does not allow local services or
the configured user for this service to set time?
Is there any GP configured for w32time, which overrules local settings??

Hi,
Thanks for posting in Microsoft TechNet Forum.
After checking this issue, I suggest you could do the following steps:
1.
Try to set the netlogon service as
automatic, run your command to check the result.
2.
If the issue persists, I suspect the permission of logon and time service is incorrect, to solve this, please try the following steps:
I.
We ran the commands on the problematic computer.
sc sdshow w32time > badtime.txt
sc sdshow netlogon > badnetlogon.txt
II.
We need to run the below commands on another good computer
sc sdshow w32time > goodtime.txt
sc sdshow netlogon > goodnetlogon.txt
III.
We need to compare the security permission are matching or not.
IV.
If not, we need to copy the contents of the goodtime.txt or goodnetlogon.txt and then set the proper permissions by running the sc sdset command followed by the good permissions.
Bad Windows time output showed
D:(A;;CCLCSWLOCRRC;;;IU)(A;;CCDCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRSDRCWDWO;;;BA)(A;;CCDCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRSDRCWDWO;;;SY)S:(AU;FA;CCDCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRSDRCWDWO;;;WD)
Good Windows time output showed
D:(A;;CCLCSWLORC;;;AU)(A;;CCDCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRSDRCWDWO;;;BA)(A;;CCLCSWLORC;;;PU)(A;;CCLCSWRPLO;;;IU)(A;;CCLCSWRPLO;;;BU)S:(AU;FA;CCDCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRSDRCWDWO;;;WD)
So we set permission by running the command
sc sdset D:(A;;CCLCSWLORC;;;AU)(A;;CCDCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRSDRCWDWO;;;BA)(A;;CCLCSWLORC;;;PU)(A;;CCLCSWRPLO;;;IU)(A;;CCLCSWRPLO;;;BU)S:(AU;FA;CCDCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRSDRCWDWO;;;WD)
Note: this is just an example.
Hope it helps.

Alex,
Thanks, that worked.
I'm in the process of building a Windows 7 x64 Enterprise image. The time service starts just fine on the "gold" image. I deployed that image, via ghost64, to
4 other beta pc's for testing. On all 4 the time service would not start and fail with the above messages. Any idea why the permission would have changed? I would like to understand the root cause but it isn't imperative that I get an answer. Thanks
again.
