Backupexe 2010 R2 - Jobs fail due to logon account

I'm running Backupexec 2010 R2 on Windows SBS 2008 . 

 

I had an issue that was causing backupexec services to fail. I posted a thread and got some great feed back and ultimatly fixed the issue by repairing the backupexec DB . That thread is here https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/backup-exec-2010-services-fail-begin

 

So now Backupexec starts fine, Although I am having issues completing jobs due to the "logon account". Its Hit and Miss, some jobs finish others don't. 

When I run a test on the job it automaticly fails due to the logon account ( Screenshot attached). Reading http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH140935 it says to go ahead and run the job instead of testing. Which I did, and the job completed fine .

 

 I've read through out the Knowledge Base and tried several different things to go about fixing this . 

  • Verfied that the backupexec services are running under the correct logon account 
  • Verfied that the backupexec service account has all the correct priviliages, policies, etc 
  • Verfied that the correct password is being used for the service account  
  • Verified all services using the BESA account has the correct password 

 

I'm stumped here. I was able to complete a job just fine, but my daily differential job fails with 

Final error: 0xe0009b61 - The logon account that was provided does not have valid credentials. Ensure that the user name and password are correct, and then try again.
Final error category: Security Errors

Any input would be greatly appreciated. Below are some screenshots ive attached to make sure everything is in order.

    Found the issue. 

     

    Verified the jobs resource credentials . Made sure it was using the BESA account. 

    That's why some jobs failed others didn't. 

     

    Hope this will help somone in the future smiley

    Could you try and change that System Logon Account to LSWVN\BESA and make it default as well.

    Additionally from the logon accound manager you should be able to edit the accounts... Verify that the passwords for the accounts are correct by reintering them .. You would then need to restart services..

    I have BESA set as default. So the system login account shouldnt matter?  The services start fine, which means the login account that the service is using is fine. Right?

     

    I'm able to do a Full backup of one of my other servers.With the same Backexec im having these issues with. Can also run a test fine. ls2.png

    When it comes to my Daily differential, job status stays in queue for 15 hours before " Failing due to logon account " .  I'm not sure it stays in the queue that long because thats about how long it was until I viewed backupexec again. 

     

    I've checked / changed all password.

    Try creating a new differential job and run the backup again.

    What data are you backing up? If it involves any GRT data, then yes, the System Logon Account is queried as well. Hence, it is better if you change it.

    I have created a new differential job. This one is backing up to a external drive, instead of a tape . 

    Still no luck. Fails.

    So the " System Logon Account " is queried aswell as BESA account?  

    I've changed the password to my System Logon Account in Active Directory, But I'm still unable to edit or make any changes to that account due to password failure. 

     

    I see there is an option to " Replace " The System logon Account, Would that be a good way to go?

     

    Here is a screenshot

    In this case, the username is JoeMay.  Since I am unable to access the account after changing the password. Should I delete the account and re make one? If so, what would the steps be? 

     

    I was under the impression that all was needed was a BESA account. 

     

    Thanks for everyones input!
