Hi.
I installed Backup Exec 8.5 NT on my SCSI server and everything was great.I
then changed the name of my BDC which meant I had to reinstall Backup
Exec from new,so after uninstall I reinstalled it.However now I cannot get
past the opening screen.I keep getting this error message even though I have
now ininstalled and reinstalled 3 times.
"Application system service not responding"

This is the message in the event viewer:
"The Backup Exec 8.x Agent Browser service depends on the Backup Exec 8.5
Job Engine service which failed to start because of the following error:
The dependency service or group failed to start."
I also have a "NETLOGON" error in event viewer that states "authentication denied" from PDC.I can access the network though so what does that mean I wonder.
I reckon it has something to do with the software logging on to my PDC to start the services.If I go into services on BDC & try to start the relevant ones it cannot start them.Hope I have not confused you too much.
Any help much appreciated & thanx for your time.

Backup exec service logon to the domain to backup remote computers,
Job Engine depends on:
-Backup Exec 8.x Media Device and media services
-Backup exec 8.x Server
-server
-tdi
-dhcp client
-dns client
-tcp/ip netbios helper service
-Workstation

First I would make sure the logon settings are correct and that they have admin or bakup operator privelages, make sure the computer is part of the domain and that you are logging in as Domaim\Admin and not just Admin
