Server doesn’t start on boot

[octopus42]

Homelab environment; just set up a virtual Windows server 2025 instance using AD. The server service seems to refuse to launch automatically and requires a manual start each time. I’ve increased the verbosity to ‘debug’.

I did a gpresult and shows the nx_user policy is active. It’s been linked to the correct group policy OU for the local domain. At least from what I can tell. And then ran secedit to dump user rights. The nx user shows up in the following: SeTcbPrivilege, SeIncreaseQuotaPrivilege, SeServiceLogonRight, SeAssignPrimaryTokenPrivilege, and SeDenyInteractiveLogonRight.

I am using the latest version, 8.16.1

Hello
The Log Error message indicated that nx user account is invalid. Please ensure that nx user is not registered as ad domain user and has only local profile.

Please open powershell windows as admin and run the following command:
Get-LocalUser -Name “nx”

It might show as local user status.

Thanks
