CF2018 Server after Auto-Lockdown CF Services issues

We are installing on an offline 2012r2 'standard' installation.

Installation of CF2018 went just fine - sites are reachable.

After running the Lockdown application none of the ColdFusion services will start.  I did select an AD account to use, validated the password was updated first, but after completing the Lockdown and restarting the server the services fail with 'Access Denied'.

I have restored the ColdFusion service to use the Local System account and that now fails as well.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

    I would recommend you try running the CF services with the account you were previously trying to use, but run them as an application using cfstart.bat and use tools like Filemon etc to see what that user can't reach.

    Thanks for replying Dave.  After installing I left it with the default Local System account so that should work - but using that account even gets the 'Access Denied' now.

    I'm going to run the un-installer for the Lock Down and see how things are - hopefully restored and I can try once again with the Lock Down.

    Make sure you take a look at the Lockdown tool logs, often has the reason in there.
