The information in this article applies to:
-
Microsoft Mail Multitasking MTA for Windows NT
SYMPTOMS
When you run External or Dispatch from the Microsoft Mail Multitasking MTA
for Windows NT (NT MMTA) as a Service, the following error may occur:
Could not start the Mail External - (instance) service on \\computer
name.
Error 1069: The service did not start due to a logon failure
CAUSE
When you create a new user with User Manager for Domains, the default User
Property is User Must Change Password at Next Logon. If this option is
checked for the NT MMTA service account, it will cause this error. Windows
NT cannot present a change password dialog to a Service account.
This error will also occur the first time you try to start the service if
you have not granted the account the right to logon as a service.
RESOLUTION
To change the option
- Run User Manager for Domains from the Administrative Tools group.
- Double-click the Service account user.
- Click the Password Never Expires property, and choose the OK button.
If you have not granted the account the right to logon as a service, in
Control Panel Services, select the service, and select Startup. A dialog
box will be displayed that states, "This account has been granted the right
to log on as a service."
