Windows could not start the DHCP Client service on Local Computer.
Error 1079: The account specified for this service is different from the account specified for other services running in the same process.
To fix this error, open the Properties for the service and go to the Log On tab. Set it to use This Account: Local Service -or- Network Service and clear the password boxes. Most of the time Local Service will work, but I found a few that required Network Service.
Now we're getting the Error 5: Access Denied message when starting these services, or they don't start because of a dependency.

Start CMD using the right-click -> Run As Administrator. Change to the directory where you saved reset.cmd, then run reset.cmd. The services should run now.
