Re: Event viewer Account specified is different" errors



SSDP Discovery Service is only needed for WMP if you have some sort of
Portable Media Device.

Open Services...
Start | Run | Type: services.msc | Click OK |
Scroll down to and double click: SSDP Discovery Service |
On the Log On tab, Local System account should be selected |
Allow service to interact with desktop should NOT be selected

Allow service to interact with desktop
[[Specifies whether the service provides a user interface on a desktop that
can be used by whomever is logged on when the service is started. This
option is available only if the service is running as a LocalSystem
account.]]

SSDPSRV should be started by LocalService.

The Local System account is a predefined local account that can start a
service and provide the security context for that service. The actual name
of the account is NT AUTHORITY\System.

The Local Service account is a special built-in account that has reduced
privileges similar to an authenticated local user account. The actual name
of the account is NT AUTHORITY\LocalService.

SSDP Discovery Service = SSDPSRV

To display the WIN32_EXIT_CODE error that SCM encountered when trying to
start the program, at the command prompt, type:

sc query ssdpsrv

In news:1169476455.949714.273410@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,
witan <tsr1936@xxxxxxxxx> hunted and pecked:
I had disabled some services on my computer, such as Universal Plug and
Play Device Host [UPnP} as advised in the Internet document
http://www.z123.org/techsupport/xpservices.htm Recently. I decided to
enable this (and a few other services), because it seems to be required
by some features of Windows Media Player v11. Now I am getting error
messages in Event Viewer, such as:

"Event Type: Error
Event Source: Service Control Manager
Event Category: None
Event ID: 7000
Date: 1/22/2007
Time: 19:25:54
User: N/A
Computer: INDIA-4A7444560
Description:
The SSDP Discovery Service service failed to start due to the following
error:
The account specified for this service is different from the account
specified for other services running in the same process."

I thought I could get some help by looking at the account
specifications of "services", but it has left me confused.. The logon
name for most of the services is shown as "Local System Account" but
for a few services it is: "NT AUTHORITY\LocalService", and a 15 heavy
dots are printed already in the "Password" and "Confirm Password"
boxes. What is this "password"?
Also, some of the "Local System Account" items have a checkmark in the
box "Allow service to interact with desktop".
I shall be thankful if the experts in this list would tell me how I can
change the settings using "Services.msc" or some other program, for
getting rid of the error messages.
