Q. When you attempt to start the .NET Framework 2.0 ASP.NET State Service on Windows 2000 Server you receive 'The service did not start due to a logon failure'?

When your Windows 2000 domain controller that is running .NET Framework 2.0 tries to start the ASP.NET State Service, you receive:

System error 1069 has occurred.

The service did not start due to a logon failure.

To workaround this behavior, manually set the logon credentials for the ASP.NET State Service:

1. Start / Run / services.msc / OK.

2. Right click ASP.NET State Service and press Properties.

3. Select the Log On tab.

4. Set the Logo on as option to Local System account and press OK.

5. Right-click ASP.NET State Service and press Start.
