Error 1079: The account specified for this service is different from the account specified for other services running in the same process. When attempting to start the Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol

Anonymous

I am trying to use my verizon air card, a PC770; VZ Access Manager ver. 7.2.7.1 recognizes the card just fine however every time I attempt to "connect WWAN" I receive the following error - "Connection failed - Connection not available". Through the verizon forums I trace this error to the "Remote Access Connection Manger" service which is not started. I attempt to start this service and receive error 1068: the dependency service or group failed to start. I check the dependencies tab and see Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol. When I go to this service I see that it is not started, attempts to start this service result in the error in my ,title = Error 1079.

I have seen many other questions related to error code 1079, but nothing as it relates to the SSTP service.

How do I fix this or what additional information is required to help diagnose? Regards, Paul

Dude... Might wanna lay off the crack for a while before that extreme paranoia gets the best of you...

To the OP:

Just go into the login properties of the service you are trying to start and select "This Account". Browse your computer and find the "Local Service" account. Wipe out the password so that it is blank and apply. You will be presented with a dialog stating the that the account has been granted the login as a service right. Then start your service. That should fix your problem. I have seen this issue countless times and there are many, many reasons why it could have happened but it's nothing to worry about.

Sounds like you'd want to determine what account the SSTP Service is configured to use (services.msc, logon tab) and compare it to other services that are set to start in the same svchost group (looks like the "LocalService" group).

Then check the services in the LocalService REG_MULTI_SZ value in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Svchost - get the list, and note the account each of those services is configured to use. Then check for discrepancies among all of the services you checked.

Hello

When you see:

Error 1079: The account specified for this service is different from the account specified for other services running in the same process.

MICROSOFT IS NOT TOO BLAME

Your laptop (or other) system has had its Security breached if get that error (or any of the the following errors):
1. Internet Explorer (IE) fails to start up correctly after a COLD bootup.
This happens because your IE is partially installed on the ID THIEVES laptop and partly on yours.
1. Windows services post error that it could not start the SECURITY CENTER (or other service).
ERROR 1079: The account specified for this service is different from the account specified for other services running in

the same process.

This happens because ID THIEVES had breached your Microsoft Operating system security.

This is not a Microfsoft issue. PLEASE contact your local FBI Office.

Not only has your computer Security been breached. But your home Security has been breached too !!(the THIEVES may have

planted hidden video & audio taps in your place too!!)
1. Your computer is always in SLEEP mode (especially when you try to do a cold boot as the computer ADMIN).
This is another sign that your computer security has been breached.
1. You type words and you go back and read them and it is NOT what you typed (missing letters etc).
Most likely there is a keystroke recorder installed on you computer.
1. You look in your SYSTEM COMFIGURATION as an ADMIN and you see the Manufacturer listed as UNKNOWN for the Recovery
Service for Windows (likewise for other services).
1. You try to change the setting for what program you open
a file with and you see piece of data rather than an actual

program as one of the choices.

There's probably alot more but I do NOT intend to write a book !!

Happy hunting the HACKER(s) of your computer system !

Again this is not a MICROSOFT bug. These are symptoms that your computer security has been BREACHED.

This is MY understanding of the issue. And I hope this information helps you resolve your computer issues.

Happy cinque de mayo !!!

I changed Log On tab Log On as to Local Service and my service "Secure Tunneling Port" started successfully but at the same time it stops showing error that some services stop when not in use, and that's why I am still unable to start the service "Remote Access Connection Manager" because it depends on "Secure Tunneling Port" service.

And as a result I can not connect to my modem to access internet through Broadband Connection.

Please help me with this this problem and make my services to start.....

Please help........
