Well thanks for the suggestions. I just solved my own question.
I solved the Splunk issue which had the following error when I tried to start the SplunkForwarder service.
"Windows could not start the SplunkForwarder service on Local Computer. Error 1069: The service did not start due to a logon failure."
I fixed this error under the SplunkForwarder service properties. Under the Log On tab, I deselected the default radio button for “This account” and its accompanying “tis\splunk” user name and password and selected the radio button for “Local System account” and no box checked for “Allow service to interact with desktop.” Now the SplunkForwarder service starts OK with no errors.
