When our diskless nodes stopped booting from the server today, we restarted the server and after that we found that the TFTP service was stopped. (You can learn how to restart TFTP service here). This was the first reboot we had done after changing the administrator password on the WIN 2003 server. When we tried to restart the service, we got the error:
Could not start the terminal FTP Daemon service on local computer. Error 1069: Service did not start due to login failure.
At first, we just changed the password back to the old one and got it to work. Read more here.
On playing around some more, we found that the user name and password are stored in the services itself.
(Click on Start button, click on Administrative tools, click on Services, scroll down till you find Trivial FTP Daemon, double click on it, click on the "Logon" tab and you will find the administrator user name and the password. This is why the service would not start; the administrator password was changed and it was not changed for this service here. So if you are using TFTP with your WIN 2003 server, make sure you remember to change the WIN 2003 administrator password in both these places.
