Service wont restart - loses log on as service right 1

[bladesk8er]

Hi,
I have a service that has log-on as a specific user properties. This is stopped using net stop, so that it doesnt conflict with backup operations, and net started after the backup scripts run.
What we se is that the service fails to start due to a log-on failure. What we do to fix it (and have to do this EVERY DAY) is to go to the logon properties tab and set the details (either the username - a local user with lots and lots of rights, or set the passowrd to what it already is) back to what they already are, and the service starts, with the info pop-up that it (once again) has been granted the log on as a service right.
Why/How does this right disappear overnight, as it were.

I've seen this in sql server service. Try going into the properties of the service and see if the user is logging onto the domain, or locally. Should be logging onto the domain if I remember. Might want to log on locally if it's a special app server. (I've got one like that. Stand alone server.) Glen A. Johnson

I've had this same problem using a domain account that has been granted the log on as service right at both the domain and local level.
Every time I try to restart the service, I have to go in and reset the password in order to get the log on right back. I want to bounce the server nightly, but can't trust the logon failure. (the service runs the company's phone system)
