On a network of 5 clients I made changes on the permission and the scheduled services like backup stopped. I can't retrace my route. What could I have done wrong? Is there utility that can diagnose setups on W2K to tell what's wrong?

Turn on auditing, as a very very first step. This will at least tell you whether or not it's permission related, and who is doing the rejecting. You enable auditing through local machine and domain security policies.

If it's simply a case of the service not starting, check the system log (using event viewer) to see what errors occur when you restart the service. With a bit of luck, the account that the service is running as either has too little permission (eg. is no longer authorised to runas a service), or has the wrong password.

Good luck.
