We have all of a sudden been having issues starting some services using the local system account. They have been working fine, and all of a sudden, they stopped. Now when we try to start the service we get a "Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion". In the event log it lists an Event ID 7000 that says basically the same thing. What's odd, is that if I set it to use a domain account, it starts fine. Why are these not starting using the local system account? I need to get this resolved. Any ideas would be great, thanks.
