Accounts Service (accounts-daemon) crashes

For some reason, GDM of my Gnome 3 laptop refuses to startup. I studied the problem a bit and found the following error:
[root@leopardi gdm]# systemctl restart accounts-daemon
[root@leopardi gdm]# journalctl -n

  • Service Accounts for Browser Services and FD Launcher (Full-text Search)

    I am setting up SQL Failover Clustering (Version: 2012SP1) on Windows 2012. There are 2 options to configure the service account for Browser Services and FD Launcher :
    Option 1) Using separate domain accounts, as what I have done for DB Engine and SQL Agent.
    Option 2) accept the default, which is  local service for
    browser, and virtual account for
    FD Launcher. Per documentation URL: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143504.aspx
    which is the recommended one? is it option 2?
    There is security note on above URL as well, but does not clearly mention that option 1 is not recommended.
    Security Note:  Always run SQL Server services by using the lowest possible user rights. Use a
    MSA or
    virtual account when possible. When MSA and virtual accounts are not possible, use a specific low-privilege user account or domain account instead of a shared account for SQL Server services. Use separate accounts for different SQL Server services. Do not
    grant additional permissions to the SQL Server service account or the service groups. Permissions will be granted through group membership or granted directly to a service SID, where a service SID is supported.

    Hi Luo Donghua,
    In SQL Server Brower, the default logon account is NT Authority\Local service and cannot be changed during SQL Server setup.SQL Server Browser is not a clustered resource and does
    not support failover from one cluster node to the other. SQL Server Browser should be installed and
    turned on for each node of the cluster. SQL Server Browser should be run in the security context of a low privileged user to minimize exposure to a malicious attack.
    You can change the account after the setup has been completed; For more information, see:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh510203.aspx.
    In SQL Server full text filter daemon launcher, on Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008, the FDHOST Launcher service account also defaults to LOCAL SERVICE. If you provide a domain account in which to run the FDHOST Launcher service, we highly recommend
    that you use a low privilege account. On Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008R2 , we use Virtual Account or Managed Service account(MSA) in FD Launcher . We also need to note the account you used for
     FD Launcher should be different from the account that you use for the SQL Server service. For more information, see:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc281953(v=sql.100).aspx
    So I recommend you use the option 2 to configure the service account for Browser Services and FD Launcher.

  • EWS API - Impersonating to update a calendar item created by any other user than a service account, raise an error "Access is denied. Check credentials and try again."

    Hi,
    I am new to using EWS managed APIs.
    Following is the issue:
    1. I am using a service account e.g. [email protected]. This user is a global administrator and also has ApplicationImpersonation role assigned. (Sign into Online Office 365 account -> Admin -> select "Exchange" tab- > select Permissions
    on the left panel -> create an impersonation role -> assign ApplicationImpersonation in Roles: and [email protected] in Members: -> Click on save)
    2. Create a calendar item by other user for e.g. [email protected], and invite an attendee - [email protected].
    3. In a c# program, I connect to EWS service using a service account - [email protected], fetch its calendar events. If organizer of an event is some other user - [email protected] then
    I use impersonation in the following way to update the calendar event/item properties- subject, body text etc.
            private static void Impersonate(string organizer)
                string impersonatedUserSMTPAddress = organizer;
                ImpersonatedUserId impersonatedUserId =
                    new ImpersonatedUserId(ConnectingIdType.SmtpAddress, impersonatedUserSMTPAddress);
                service.ImpersonatedUserId = impersonatedUserId;
    4. It was working fine till yesterday afternoon. Suddenly, it started throwing an exception "Access is denied. Check credentials and try again." Whenever I try to
    update that event.
           private static void FindAndUpdate(ExchangeService service)
                CalendarView cv = new CalendarView(DateTime.Now, DateTime.Now.AddDays(30));
                cv.MaxItemsReturned = 25;
                try
                    FindItemsResults<Item> masterResults = service.FindItems(WellKnownFolderName.Calendar, cv);
                    foreach (Appointment item in masterResults.Items)
                        if (item is Appointment)
                            Appointment masterItem = item as Appointment;
                            if (!masterRecurEventIDs.Contains(masterItem.ICalUid.ToString()))
                                masterItem.Load();
                                if (!masterItem.Subject.Contains(" (Updated content)"))
                                    //impersonate organizer to update and save for further use
                                    Impersonate(masterItem.Organizer.Address.ToString());
                                    // Update the subject and body
                                    masterItem.Subject = masterItem.Subject + " (Updated content)";
                                    string currentBodyType = masterItem.Body.BodyType.ToString();
                                    masterItem.Body = masterItem.Body.Text + "\nUpdated Body Info:
    xxxxxxxxxxxx";
                                    // This results in an UpdateItem operation call to EWS.
                                    masterItem.Update(ConflictResolutionMode.AutoResolve);
                                    // Send updated notification to organizer of an appointment
                                    CreateAndSendEmail(masterItem.Organizer.Address.ToString(), masterItem.Subject);
                                    masterRecurEventIDs.Add(masterItem.ICalUid.ToString());
                                else
                                    Console.WriteLine("Event is already updated. No need to update again.:\r\n");
                                    Console.WriteLine("Subject: " + masterItem.Subject);
                                    Console.WriteLine("Description: " + masterItem.Body.Text);
                catch (Exception ex)
                    Console.WriteLine("Error: " + ex.Message);
    5. What could be an issue here? Initially I thought may be its a throttling policy which is stopping same user after making certain API call limits for the day, but I am still seeing this issue today.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks

    Your logic doesn't sound correct here eg
    2. Create a calendar item by other user for e.g. [email protected], and invite an attendee - [email protected]
    3. In a c# program, I connect to EWS service using a service account - [email protected], fetch its calendar events. If organizer of an event is some other user - [email protected] then
    I use impersonation in the following way to update the calendar event/item properties- subject, body text etc.
    When your connecting to [email protected] mailbox the only user that can make changes to items within
    abccalendar is abc (or ABC's delegates). If your impersonating the Organizer of the appointment pqr that wouldn't work unless the organizer had rights to abc's calendar. If you want to make updates to a calendar
    appointment like that you should connect to the Organizers mailbox first update the original, send updates and then accept the updates.
    When you impersonate your impersonating the security context of the Mailbox your impersonating so its the same a logging on as that user in OWA or Outlook.
    Cheers

  • Service accounts for the Workspace Database service permission Error while creating Tabular Mode from PowerPivot

    Hi All,
    Please help me out against this issue. I have spent so much (3 working days) time just figuring out what is the issue and its solution.
    I am learning Tabular Mode and trying to create a mode based on PowerPivot model. I am getting following error message:
    'The PowerPivot workbook could not be imported. The service account for the workspace database server does not have permission to read from the PowerPivot workbook.'
    Here is my infrastructure:
    1. SSAS in Tabular Mode is installed on my Windows 8 Laptop
    2. PowerPivot is also in my laptop
    3. There is only my account (as Admin of course) for SSAS
    Here are my questions:
    1. What is this error and how can I cope with that? A step by step explanation would be highly appreciated :-)
    2. Do I need to change something in Windows settings or in SSAS?
    3. I am confused about my workspace database server as well, Do I have to install SSAS twice; one for development and one for workspace?
     Looking forward for the expert advise.
    Tahir
    Thanks, TA

    Hi,
    I suspect you might have more luck if you try the SSAS forum: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/home?forum=sqlanalysisservices

  • SQL server agent job running as Agent Service Account whose service account does not have r/w access but is still able to write?

    Hi. I am newer to SQL server security and am reviewing some of our SQL server's configuration to make sure the services are running under accounts with least privilege.  I have a SQL server 2012 instance whose Agent service is configured to run
    under an AD user account named 'SQLServices'.  The jobs on this server are configured to run as 'SQL server agent service account', which means they should execute as user 'SQLServices'.  The jobs are set up to execute SSIS packages which read and
    write to a database on the same server where the agent job is scheduled and SSIS package installed (all on same server).  The jobs are currently executing without error and are reading writing data correctly.  Upon close examination, it turns out the
    SQLServices account is not assigned to the 'sysadmin' role and had no users mapped to any databases on this server.  How are these jobs working?  I verified in profiler that the login name indeed is 'SqlServices'.  I also verified
    that SQLServices login has no database access by remote-ing onto the server and trying to log into the DB, and access was denied as expected.  According to the literature, the Agent service needs to be a member of 'sysadmin role' but I am reading
    some cases where that is not necessarily the case.  So this is not so concerning.  What is concerning is that the login 'SQLServices' had no access to the databases on that server yet it is reading and writing to the databases as if it does. 
    The only thing I can think of is maybe jobs run as 'SQL server agent service account' on the same server as the databases it r/w to somehow has some kind of default access.  What am I missing here?  Any input would be helpful.

    After 2 days on this forum I found the answer to my own question.  In retrospect, I should have posted this under 'SQL Server Security', but I didn't know it existed.
    The 2 threads below explain that Sql agent actually runs using SID (service) NT SERVICE\SQLSERVERAGENT if you chose that when you installed.  This will automatically create an associated login NT SERVICE\SQLSERVERAGENT in SQL server with sqladmin
    role.  This is the login that Agent uses to connect to the local instance of SQL server.  If you changed to domain account to run the service during install or after using config manager, basically NT SERVICE\SQLSERVERAGENT is still
    used to connect to your local instance behind the scenes (even though you will still see your domain user as account), and the domain account is used to reach outside the server.

  • Error occurred while accessing application id Excel services application unattended service account from secure store service

    Hi,
      I follow up the book "Professional SharePoint 2013 Administration" to build the SharePoint 2013 BI include Excel Services. and created the Secure Store services to save the user SP_Install for member.
    For Now, I can upload the worksheet and open it in browser, but when I tried to refresh it, the SP 2013 show error "Error occurred while accessing application id Excel services application unattended service account from secure store service".
     does anybody can help ? and do I need to turn on C2WTS ? 
    Thanks

    Hi James,
    Excel Services can be used with Secure Store in three primary scenarios:
    Unattended Service Account
    Embedded Connections
    External Data Connections
    If you haven't configure unattended service account yet, you could refer to the article below:

  • SCVMM 2008 R2 - "The SQL Server service account does not have permission to access Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS)."

    I know this question has been asked before, but never for R2, that I can tell, and the posted fixes aren't working. I have just installed SCVMM 2008 R2 on a Windows Server 2008 R2 server, using a remote SQL 2008 SP1 database. When I attempt to connect to SCVMM, I get the following error:
    "The SQL Server service account does not have permission to access Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS).
    Ensure that the SQL Server service is running under a domain account or a computer account that has permission to access AD DS. For more information, see "Some applications and APIs require access to authorization information on account objects" in the Microsoft Knowledge Base at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=121054.
    ID: 2607"
    What I've seen online is that this is usually becuase the domain account SCVMM is running as does not have the proper permissions on the SQL database. Here's what I've confirmed:
    1) My SCVMM service account is a local admin on the SCVMM server
    2) My SCVMM service account is a dbowner on the SCVMM database in SQL
    3) My SQL service account is a dbowner on the SCVMM database in SQL
    4) My SQL service account is a domain user (even made it a domain admin, just in case, and it still "doesn't have access to AD DS," which is obviously untrue)
    5) Neither service account is locked out
    Has anyone run in to this? It says in Technet that remote SQL 2008 is supported, as long as the SQL management studio is installed to the SCVMM server, and I installed and patched before I began the SCVMM installation. I just don't know what else to try - I have no errors in event logs, no issues during the installation itself...
    Andrew Topp

    That answer was very unhelpful fr33m4n. The individual mentions that they've received the error that points to the KB article. I currently receive the same error -- there seems to be no resolution. I've run the Microsoft VBS script to add TAUG to the WAAG
    as suggested by 331951, and that made absolutely no difference.
    1) My SCVMM service account is a local admin on the SCVMM server
    2) My SCVMM service account is a dbowner on the SCVMM database in SQL
    3) My SQL service account is a dbowner on the SCVMM database in SQL
    4) My SQL service account is a domain user (even made it a domain admin, just in case, and it still
    "doesn't have access to AD DS," which is obviously untrue)
    The user is also a member of WAAG, the machines have delegated authority to each other. Is there any other solution?

  • Query relating to the creation of Managed Service Accounts

    Hi Folks
    I am studying for my 70-411 exam and have a query relating to the creation of Managed Service Accounts.
    I have successfully created an MSA account named 'MSATest' on a DC  using:
     new-adserviceaccount -name msatest –dnshostname home-dc-01 -passthru
    and
     add-AdcomputerServiceAccount -identity home-ap-01 -serviceaccount msatest -passthru
    However the guide that I am using now says that I now need to run:  Install-ADServiceAccount on the host computer in the domain to install the MSA in order to make available it available for use by services.
    So on my member server (home-ap-01) I have installed the Active Directory Module for powershell and ran:
    PS C:\Users\administrator.PCECORP> Install-ADServiceAccount -Identity msatest
    Install-ADServiceAccount : Cannot install service account. Error Message: 'An

  • Service account password change

    Hi.
    we have ADFS 3.0 ( 1 server, not a farm ) with groupmanaged service account. All Works fine. Now - i see on DC,  on one moment that password for this object has been changed.
    Description:
    An attempt was made to reset an
    account's password. Subject: Security ID: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM Account Name:
    DC1$ Account Domain: DOMAIN Logon ID: 0x3e7 Target Account: Security ID:
    DOMAIN\First_gMSA$ Account Name: First_gMSA$ Account Domain: DOMAIN
    . And about ~40 min later login via ADFS to third party saas stopped to work.
    In security log on ADFS server following events started to show up.
    An account failed to log on.
    Subject:
    Security ID:  DOMAIN\First_gMSA$
    Account Name: First_gMSA$
    Account Domain:  DOMAIN
    Logon ID: 0x872CA
    Logon Type: 3
    Account For Which Logon Failed:

    Account Name:

    Failure Information:
    Failure Reason: An Error occured during Logon.
    Status: 0xC000018D
    ADFS service runs under this account and after restarting service all was fine again.
    Error code should be - STATUS_TRUSTED_RELATIONSHIP_FAILURE
    So - the question is - HOW should service proceed password change or should any additional configurations performed ( which are missed by me.

    Try this: "STATUS_TRUSTED_RELATIONSHIP_FAILURE" error when you log on to Office 365 from AD FS proxy in Windows

  • Domain administrator service accounts limit access to a particular server/s

    We need to adjust these to adjust our service accounts and would like them to be restricted to a particular server and restrict their logon or access.  Any
    suggestions on how to manage this through Active Directory at an enterprise level? We want to lock down the accounts to specific servers but we can't use local admins for these particular group of accounts.
    For the time being I was thinking about using AD to "logon on to" and enter the server names to limit the access but I was didn't know if there was any
    better approach to the solution. Any suggestion or any other ways to configure? Caveats?

  • What is the effect of the service account permissions

    Hi,
    What is the effect of the service account permissions? For example, suppose the service account for SQL Server database engine is SomeDomain\A, and has no permission to execute stored procedure X, and a user with domain account SomeDomain\B does have the
    said permission. Which one will prevail, i.e. can the user execute stored procedure X? If so, what permissions must I give the service account SomeDomain\A?
    I am asking this in the context of planning deployment in the production environment of a data warehouse application.
    Cheers,
    Jerome
    Jerome Smith BI Consultant, MCP

    Hi Jerome,
    Service account for SQL Server Database Engine only have limited permissions. To grant the account permission to execute stored procedure X, please refer to the following
    query:
    USE database;
    GRANT EXECUTE ON OBJECT::dbo.X
    TO SomeDomain\A;
    GO
    Since the user is in the context of planning deployment in the production environment of a data warehouse application, we may need to add some additional permissions. For more details, please refer to the following blog:
