Issue
There are several possible causes of this issue
- The password for the service account has expired.
- The service account stored in the registry is different from that stored in the service management console.
- The service account does not have the Log on as a service right.
Resolution
- Open Windows Event Viewer and check for any log on related errors. Change the service account password if it has expired.
- If you are upgrading and have changed the service account manually since the installation, ensure that you have followed the instructions for changing the service account.
- Ensure that the service account has the Log on as a service right. This is automatically granted by the installation, however can be overridden by the Group Policy configuration within your organization.
