Cause
- The SendSuite Live "Run As" user (Service Account) was removed from the Local Administrators group or Domain Administrators group.
- The password for the SendSuite Live run as user account has expired.
- The Server Configuration Utility is missing a "Run As" username and password.
Resolution
- Make sure that the SendSuite Live "Run As" is in the Local Administrators or Domain Administrators group. Contact your IT department for assistance if necessary.
- If the password for the "Run As" user has changed, change it back to its previous value and make sure that the Windows account for the "Run As" user is configured so that the password will never expire.
- If the "Run As" user (Service Account) has been removed from the Server Configuration Utility, add it back into the Server Configuration Utility:
- Select Start > All Programs > SendSuite Live > Server Configuration Utility.
- Set the Run as User and password.
- Select Apply Clear to put the change into effect.
