Hello,
Environment: Windows Server 2008 R2 fully patched, working as Domain Controller in Win 2003 native domain.
Users started to report problems with share, it turned out that server service won't start. I've scrambled google but can't find a thing.
Any ideas will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance 🙂
Service fails to start, then when starting service I get:
Windows could not start the Server service on SERVERNAME.
Error 1079: The account specified for this service is different from the account specified for other services running in the same process.
In System Event Log:
Event 7023
The Server service terminated with the following error: The account used is a server trust account. Use your global user account or local user account to access this server.

It took a while but here is a solution:
Check your paths in PATH system variable - when it is incorrect Server service won't start (as points to non existing folder etc.)
Use this hotfix or check your paths :) http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2316513
