This error usually comes up when you try to start a new service that would get the same service ID as another service in the process:
System error 1290 has occurred.
The service start failed since one or more services in the same process have an incompatible service SID type setting. A service with restricted service SID type can only coexist in the same process with other services with a restricted SID type. If the service SID type for this service was just configured, the hosting process must be restarted in order to start this service.
It can be circumvented by giving the new service its own process. To do that, open a new command prompt as administrator and enter the following (replace [command] with the command's identifier):
sc config [command] type= own
For example, if you want to start the w32time command, enter:
sc config w32time type= own
Absolutely worked!! Chasing a problem with BITS (XP Home), thru Microsoft, to no avail. Stumbled onto this webpage, gave BITS it’s own process. Able to start the service and perform updates.
I can’t thank you enough. This has been driving me crazy and so has Microsoft!
Same problem exactly. I know a bit about computers but not enough. Had a clever guy helping and when I found this he said “lets give it a try, can’t do any harm”. I am so pleased he did because this has fixed it. Thanks a lot to the original poster, I am very grateful.
You ROCK! This fixed my problem with the w32time service being unable to start due to an SID type conflict.

Genius !
You have save my time. I had search few days about this, but you are the only one person who success me.
Thanks Sir !
The fix works in so much as I can start the service, but I get access is denied errors when I try to do anything with W32TM, such as w32tm /query /source or W32TM /resync /rediscover
Have you come across this before? I’m in dire straits!

Getting the access denied errors too, after setting “own”.
Any fix for this?
Martin – I see the same issue with access denied on w32tm /query /status after running
sc config w32time type= own
as aresolution to err1290.
Did you find a proper fix ?
excellent.
sc config wuauserv type= own
was used to fix an ongoing windows update issue. Prior to this SID error as above, we had error 87 the parameter is incorrect when trying to start windows update. Having created a batch file copied from another forum, it reset windows update but did not fully resolve the error. It then generated the 1290 error having run the script.

Worked for resolving error with atomic clock/windows time service, Microsoft don’t seem to know how their own operating system works.
Thanks.
