On a computer that runs Windows Server 2003 or Windows XP, you cannot install
Backup Exec with a service account that has a blank password. If you attempt to do so,
the following error message appears when Backup Exec services are created:
The given password is not correct for account [server]\[username].
You can configure Windows to allow for blank passwords. For more information, see
your Windows documentation.
