Help - Loosing my Sanity

We are having a problem with our services (mainly SQL server) in that they l
oose/forget their passwords. So, even though the service is set to start au
tomatically, it can't do to a logon failure. We must type over the password
and then are able to start
the service. This is happening on multiple configurations.
Windows 2000 Advanced, SP2 & 3, SQL Server 2000
Windows 2000 Standard, SP4, SQL Server 2000
SQL Server 2000 is at SP3 with all the latest patches and fixes.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.Have you checked the settings for the account itself? Make
sure the account is set up so that Password never expires is
selected and Must change password at next login is not
selected.
