Windows Services forget user credentials

by christer vaskinn . Updated 18 years, 5 months ago

Hi! We have a lot of both servers and other machines that runs Windows Services with custom user credentials. However, some of the services has a tendency to stop, because they forget their password. After a lot of the all mighty Google, they only solutiong I found was adding the username under Log on as Service in the Group Policy. But, I’m not allowed to add anything in the local policy, and I consider it a safety risk to give some accounts Log on as service on the entire network. I really don’t want to make a lot of policies just for the computers that run the services either. I’m pretty sure somebody else knows about this problem, and maybe has a solution.
