# Verify Tableau Service Settings

Confirm that Tableau services are assigned the correct Log On and Startup values. If you are running a [distributed installation](https://help.tableau.com/v0.0/server/en-us/distrib_ha.htm) of Tableau Server, perform these steps on all nodes in the cluster.

1. Log on as administrator to the computer running Tableau Server.
2. On the Tableau Server computer, select Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management > Services and Applications > Services.
3. Open Services and Applications, then click Services. Confirm that the following services have the correct settings:
