Direct answer
Service-account rights and passwords, file-share permissions, host firewalls, application ports, dependency services, licensing, and updates all affect operation. Secure configuration should use dedicated least-privilege accounts and explicit firewall rules, then monitor changes so a password rotation or patch does not become an unexplained production outage.
Practical checkpoint
Document each service identity, dependency, permitted port, share, and owner; test changes first and never leave a firewall disabled as the permanent fix.
