Urgent! TFSWSS and TFS AppPool Launch Failure

Question

Hi all,

The application pools TFSWSS and TFS AppPool failed to launch at startup and it doesn't start when i try to manually start it on the IIS Manager. I've also looked on the services.msc and found out the following services also didn't start: Code Coverage Analysis Service, SharePoint Timer Service and TFSServerScheduler; Still i can't start it manually (Error 1069: the service did not start due to logon failure). Please do reply, I really need the server to run tomorrow.

Thanks

From the error message I would guess that one of the following is true:

1) The service account username or password is incorrect

2) The service account has not been granted the "Logon As Service" right in Windows.

3) The service account is unable to log on to your machine at all (non-user?)

Also, can you check security & application eventlogs and see if you get any clues? Pls attach the details if you see any failures.
