Environment

NetIQ AppManager 7.0.x
NetIQ AppManager 8.x

Situation

When starting or restarting a service error 1069 is seen from the service manager.

Resolution

This can be resolved by updating the password within the services applet for the failing service.

Cause

The windows service will validate the password once the account has been defined within the services applet. This will then retain that password each time the service is started. The logon failure would indicate that the password had changed after it had been defined in the services.

If the 'Logon as a Service' was removed from the user account locally re-entering the password would add the 'Logon as a Service' right back to that account.
