If it is not running, verify the logon<BR />credentials. The service login credentials could have changed. The HP SIM service is registered to run under<BR />the credentials used during installation. To resolve this issue:<BR />1. Change the MSSQL service password:<BR />a. In Windows, open Services (My Computerâ Manageâ Services and Applicationsâ Services).<BR />b. Locate the MSSQL service (SQLserver service for SQL2005) and select Properties.<BR />Sign-in 643<BR />c. Select the Logon tab, and change the password.<BR />d. Restart the MSSQL (or SQLserver) service.<BR />2. Change the HP SIM service password:<BR />a. In Windows, open Services (My Computerâ Manageâ Services and Applicationsâ Services).<BR />b. Locate the HP SIM service, and then select Properties.<BR />c. Select the Logon tab, and change the password.<BR />d. Restart the HP SIM service.<BR />3. If you are using OpenSSH on Windows Server 2000 or 2003, change the OpenSSH Server service<BR />password:<BR />a. In Windows, open Services (My Computerâ Manageâ Services and Applicationsâ Services).<BR />b. Locate the OpenSSH Server service, and then select Properties.<BR />c. Select the Logon tab, and change the password.<BR />d. Restart the OpenSSH and HP SIM service.
