Hi,
I've been trying to set up Cygwin cron to work as a service on my work
PC. I'm able to get it working just fine on a Windows system where I'm
using a personal Microsoft account, but when I attempt the same process
using on a Windows system using my work account, I get the following
error:
cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: StartService: Win32 error 1068:
The dependency service or group failed to start.
I also note that in the failing scenario, I see the following log appear
at this time in Windows Event Viewer:
> This 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.
I've reproduced this behaviour in virtual machines using fresh
installations of Windows, and where the only actions taken were to
bootstrap, log in, install Cygwin including cygrunsrv and cron, then
attempt to set up cron as a service. I've attached copies of the MinTTY
output and the cronbug.txt files (which appear to include the normal
cygcheck -srv output, so I've not added those separately. I've also
attached the full Event Viewer log
My guess is that something about how Windows manages user accounts has
changed over the years, and cygrunsrv hasn't been updated to cope, but
that's a very wild guess. Searching the archives hasn't got me very
far; mostly I've found references to cyglsa, which I get the impression
is thoroughly deprecated, and based on
https://www.cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html#ntsec-nopasswd3 I don't
think it's appropriate anyway due to the way the password is stored.
For now I'm continuing to use a snippet in my .bashrc to start cron when
I first start Bash, but that's not the nicest of workarounds. Does
anyone have suggestions for anything better?

$ cron-config
The cron daemon can run as a service or as a job. The latter is not recommended.
Do you want to install the cron daemon as a service? (yes/no) yes
Enter the value of CYGWIN for the daemon: [ ]
You must decide under what account the cron daemon will run.
If you are the only user on this machine, the daemon can run as yourself.
This gives access to all network drives but only allows you as user.
To run multiple users, cron must change user context without knowing
the passwords. There are three methods to do that, as explained in
http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html#ntsec-nopasswd1
If all the cron users have executed "passwd -R" (see man passwd),
which provides access to network drives, or if you are using the
cyglsa package, then cron should run under the local system account.
Otherwise you need to have or to create a privileged account.
This script will help you do so.

In case of problem, examine the log file for cron,
/var/log/cron.log, and the Windows event log (using /usr/bin/cronevents)
for information about the problem cron is having.
Examine also any cron.log file in the HOME directory
(or the file specified in MAILTO) and cron related files in /tmp.
If you cannot fix the problem, then report it to cygwin@cygwin.com.
Please run the script /usr/bin/cronbug and ATTACH its output
(the file cronbug.txt) to your e-mail.
WARNING: PATH may be set differently under cron than in interactive shells.
Names such as "find" and "date" may refer to Windows programs.

Never any issues here with cron, other than no mail, but I run mainly run
scripts that log to /var/log/, and syslog rules that chmod a+r.
I installed cyglsa many years ago, but don't think that's used any more, and I
also used passwd -R, so that should still be around.
I have also customized my daemon services so auto-start is delayed, notify on
pre-shutdown, and depend on others: cron -> syslog-ng -> cygserver -> SamSS
Security Accounts Manager, as I an not in a domain.
Given the error, I suggest checking the system config, as it either needs to be
a domain member, with DC/AD access, or you need your work user created locally.
Also check the deps with `sc qc cron` and follow the chain to see where netlogon
gets involved.

I'm honestly not sure what system config I'd need to check here. Can
you give any more detailed instructions?

That doesn't seem useful, sadly: as far as I can tell, cron has no
dependencies, so it's not clear to me why netlogon is getting involved
at all.
$ sc qc cron
[SC] QueryServiceConfig SUCCESS
SERVICE_NAME: cron
TYPE : 10 WIN32_OWN_PROCESS
START_TYPE : 2 AUTO_START
ERROR_CONTROL : 1 NORMAL
BINARY_PATH_NAME : C:\cygwin64\bin\cygrunsrv.exe
LOAD_ORDER_GROUP :
TAG : 0
DISPLAY_NAME : Cron daemon
DEPENDENCIES :
SERVICE_START_NAME : EUROPE\adinwoodie
I get the same results running that in Cygwin Bash and in PowerShell,
and with either started normally or running with Administrator
permissions.

You might test this hypothesis by attempting to run 'true', or perhaps
it needs to be something that runs forever like 'sleep infinity' and see
if you get the same error about netlogon?
(Or are you able to run other cygwin services without problems?)

Good question! Looks like this is common to all services installed with
cygrunsrv and a specific user:
# cygrunsrv -I sleeptest -p /usr/bin/sleep -a infinity -u EUROPE+adinwoodie
Enter password of user `EUROPE\adinwoodie':
Re-enter, please:
# cygrunsrv -Q sleeptest
Service : sleeptest
Current State : Stopped
Command : /usr/bin/sleep infinity
# cygrunsrv -S sleeptest
cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: StartService: Win32 error 1068:
The dependency service or group failed to start.
So I think that strongly points towards either (a) an issue with
cygrunsrv, or (b) using usernames like this is just doomed to failure
and cron-config might benefit from suggesting better options or at least
warning there aren't any.
