SYMPTOMS

Event Viewer records the following events:

   Event ID:  7024
   Source:    Service Control Manager
   The Net Logon service terminated with service-specific error 3095.

   Event ID:  3095
   Source:    NETLOGON
   This Windows NT computer is configured as a member of a workgroup, not
   as a member of a domain. The Netlogon service does not need to run in
   this configuration.

NOTE: This symptom may also occur on a non-networked Windows NT-based computer if its Netlogon service is set to automatic.

CAUSE

The Netlogon service has been configured to start automatically on the stand-alone server.

RESOLUTION

The Netlogon service should not be configured to start automatically on a server that is not a domain member. Configure the Netlogon service so that its startup type is set to "Manual."
