Sharepoint Timer Service is suddenlty stop Sharepoint 2013

Question

I have a farm which was installed from scratch, and the timer service is started, however sometimes the timer service is stop.

When I try to start it again, it says LogOn Failure, but the problem is that WE dont reset the sp_farm accounts password at anytime which makes no sense.

The event log is empty, there is nothing in it. In the ULS Logs, I am not sure what to look because we dont know the exact date and time when it stops working.

Answer 1

Verify the following Points:

• If you got Error 1069: The service did not start due to a logon failure Try to provide the credentials again then start the service.

• Open Central Administration > Security > Configure Managed Accounts > Click on Edit for the Farm account > Check Change password now > Use exsisting password and enter the current account password.

• Make sure that the service account you are using is not disabled and that password hasn't expired by checking AD Users and Computers.

• The account has administrator privileges and Logon as a service permission.

  • Go to Local Security Policy by Running secpol.msc
  • Under Local Policies,> User Rights Assignment double click Log on as a service
  • ensure that the account is added below Local Security Setting.

• the service account is a member of the Administrators group on the local computer .
