[postgis-users] postgis / postgresql not starting after rebooting windows server 2008

[Mike Toews]

Hi Mark,

I had this behaviour with my work PC, running Win7 x64. My workaround
was the same too. The problem is probably something to do with the
Local Security Policy, where the "Log On As A Service" privileges for
.\postgres are lost on each restart. This computer also has Novell
Client/ZENworks, and a bunch of other factors.

The fix was to go into the service, and change the log on from a
Network Service (or .\postgres) to Local System account.

I have to manually go into the Services Tab in Server Manager, open up the PostGRESQL service, retype in the login information and then start PostGRESQL.  It is almost as if Windows forgets that the user .\postgres can start services.  Does anyone know how I can set postgres to always start when I reboot the server?
