Hello. My problem concerns Windows Services. I want some of my services work
with permissions of domain user or domain admin (not Local System account).
Everything works OK till reboot server. After this services don't start
automatically due to incorect password reason. I have to type password
manualy and start service manualy. This domain account are local admins of
server and are added in Local Security Settings\User Rights Assignment\Logon
as a service. What is the reason of my problem? Thanks in advance.

What happens if you manually start the service - does it work absolutely
fine if you don't type the password?

Event logs give you any clues?

Hello again. The solution is quite simple. It is not good idea to give
permission in Local Security Policy on the server (Local Security
Settings\User Rights Assignment\Logon as a service) for domain account. I
moved this policy to AD root level. But it is very important to put this
policy in the Default Domain Policy not in some other or new policy. I had it
in different policy and it didn't work. When I moved this policy do
Default... everything starting work fine.
Thanks for your help. Pawel
