Event Viewer error

Error in Event Viewer:
- Source: Altiris Deployment Server
- Event ID: 1
- Description:
- The user name or password for the domain s that was specified in the Tools | Options | Domain Accounts dialog is invalid. Logon failures could have caused this account to be locked out. You will need to update the password and restart the "Altiris eXpress Server" service..
The 'Altiris eXpress Server' service is using (domain\Altiris user (which is a domain admin)) and restarts fine
The account in Tools | Options | Domain Accounts in Deployment Server is (Username) - Administrator (Domain) - (domain name)
Should the account inside Deployment Server be the same as the one running the service?

Domain Accounts
The service account does not need to be the same as the Domain Account in DS. The service account just needs to have rights on the server running DS. In regards to the domain account, it is definitely not best practice to use a domain administrator account. It is best to create an account specifically for joining computers to the domain. This account should not have any other rights on the domain. This way you don't have to worry about password changes (be careful about security policies that might expire the password, ensure "password never expires" is checked), and you don't have to worry about domain security being compromised by use of that account.
