windows - Service failed to start error 1920

Question

On some machine we have the following error at service install: "Service ... failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services."

Service is installed fine tho, just that it can't be started as Network Service from Services.msc. Service starts and runs good if started from console it's executable...

Same thing happens with another service started as Local System.

On other machines everything is fine. Service starts as network service with no problems.

We think is a problem with windows rights, like error says, but how to check? And what to do?

Thanks, Adrya

Answer 1

Just got this from installing a really old app on server 2016. We had two hurdles- ensuring that the account we were starting the service with had 'log on as a service' rights in local group policy.

The other- we were already running another app on the default port that this new app had in it's config.xml, so we just changed to a different port and saved the config file while the installer still had an error displayed, then clicked retry and success.
