I was asked a question the other day that I thought might be good to share…  The company had made some changes and suddenly SharePoint stopped working, and they got these errors in the Even log every minute (italics added for anonymity):

Turns out they had changed the service account (and done it correctly), but they forgot to grant the Logon as Service security right in the Local Security Admin tool for that account.  A good thing to remember   This is done automatically when run the SharePoint Product Install and Configuration Wizard (or run psconfig -cmd configdb -create)…
