Try setting the service for delayed automatic start. (that's a new option in
Server 2k8.) You're likely running into a timing issue.

That being said, the service needs to be a _service_, with no console or
active user logon required. But I'm assuming here that you've met that
requirement and it's a real service.

Hi

I'm running domain controller and I have a service that I want to run under
a particular active directory user. The service gets started from SCM if I
start it. But it does not start automatically on a reboot and the error
logged in the event viewer is

The service did not start due to a logon failure

I've rechecked the username, its password. I've also granted it "Log on as
Service" rights. I dont know why does it happen only when the system
reboots. Otherwise once you log on to system and manually start it, it gives
no error.

P.S I'm running a 64 bit Windows 2008 machine.
