Over the weekend two of our 2008 R2 domain controllers located in the same site went down as a result of a power failure. After the servers came back up, I noticed that the Windows Time Service was no longer a registered service on either server. About a month ago I had to reconfigure the time service on these DCs as a result of a misconfiguration, as discussed here:
I proceeded to register it as a service using w32tm /register and then tried starting the service. That is when I ran into the error message, which is as follows:
C:\>net start w32time
System error 1290 has occurred.
The service start failed since one or more services in the same process have an incompatible service SID type setting. A service with restricted service SID type can only coexist in the same process with other services with a restricted SID type. If the
service SID type for this service was just configured, the hosting process must be restarted in order to start this service.
The event log contained similar info:
Log Name: System
Source: Service Control Manager
Date: 10/10/2011 2:13:46 PM
Event ID: 7000
Task Category: None
Level: Error
Keywords: Classic
User: N/A
Computer: SADC3.domain.com
Description: Same as above description
I compared the w32time registry settings on the problem DCs with a known good DC, and they are identical.
Any suggestions on how to resolve this?
Thanks.
