The steps outlined below were used to install cron on a different win2k3
server and it works. For some reason the same procedures don't work on a
different server.

$ net user cron_x password /add /yes
$ net localgroup administrators cron_x /add
$ editrights -a SeAssignPrimaryTokenPrivelege -u cron_x
$ editrights -a SeCreateTokenPrivelege -u cron_x
$ editrights -a SeIncreaseQuotaPrivelege -u cron_x
$ editrights -a SeServiceLogonRight -u cron_x
$ mkpassd -l -u cron_x >> /etc/passwd
$ cygrunsrv -I cron -p /usr/sbin/cron -a -D -u cron_x -w password

Each of these commands were completed successfully. But when trying to start
cron, no luck.

Did you use cron-config to configure cron properly?
Did you read what /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/cron.README says about win2k3?
