So I'm trying to change the account that the Microsoft Firewall Service
uses to start with. Currently it is set to LocalSystem.
When I try to change it to a Domain Admin account or the full blown
administrator, the service will not start. Basically stating that it
has timed out (though it gives this message instantainioulsy (horrible
spelling)). When I change it back to LocalSystem, it starts up fine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
