The problem only happens when we try to start it as a network user on the domain. As far as registering the service goes, I am not sure of the details of the installation. That was performed from a different team than mine. They are also stumped as to why this is happening. I've seen reports that PostgreSQL doesn't run properly when run as a domain member user before, too. However, in this case the problem is simpler: The PostgreSQL account must **NOT** have administrator rights. Grant the account full control over its data directory and REMOVE its administrator rights. -- Craig Ringer
