Hi,

Check the TN below and make sure the BESA complies with these required rights:

Hi Craig,

Basically the only thing that has changed is the password in AD. The service account name is the same. This account is part of the domain admins group. But from reading BE stores the password for this account when you set it up for the first time. So my question is if the logon service account password is lost how do i reset the password. I did think changing AD password would do it but I was wrong. 

Kind Regards

...if the password has changed in AD, then use BEutility.exe to reset the password there.

Thanks!

Hi craig I have been into the BEutility i have selected "All media servers-ServerName" right click change service account restarted the services and when into the selection list i get "Your defualt logon account could not be authenticated. The username or password may be incorrect. Click ok. Get edit logon Credentials select Change passsword" when i click ok Edit logon Crdentials comes up put the new password in the change password and i get "The data was not able to be validated"

So unless i am missing a step i dont know what else to do.

...try to create a new BESA and use BEutility.exe to change to this account.

THanks!

Hi craig,

I had to create another account and set that to default logon. Still cannot do anything with the System logon account but backup is working....sort of. Still would be nice if i could delete the System logon account and recreate it but alas it wont allow me to do this!! Would like to say thanks for your help i think the only way to resolve this would be to reinstall Backupexec again but this is a job for another time. Again thanks.

Under Network --> Security in BE you can make the new account the default account and then delete the old account.

Thanks!

Hi craig,

Yes I went into networks "Logon Accounts" And created a new account. But it does not allow me to Delete the system logon "The account The Account "System Logon Account" cannot be deleted. The owner of this account is either assigned as the backup Exec service account or is logged onto the media server.

No, don't do it that way. Create the account in AD, and then use BEutility.exe to change the account. This will reset all the services and make it the default. This way everything is done for you...

Thanks!
