Front End Service Fails To Start

Question
-
Okay have the following in seperate servers.
DC- Windows Server 2003 R2
SQL 2008 - Windows Server 2003 R2
Office Communication Server 2007 - Windows Server 2003 R2
Doing a clean install of office communication server with 'Deploy Pools in consolidated topology'. Did the following sucessfully.
Prepare Active Directory
Create Enterprise Pool
Configure Pool
Add Server to Pool
Configure Certificate
When Starting the services, something odd happened all the services failed to start, In the services.msc i noticed that the service accounts RTCService and RTCComponentService were unable to start the service so i changed it to my domain account schs\administrator (domain admin account)
Doing so i was able to start all the other services except the main front end service.
Below is what i get in eventlog.

If you've installed the latest patches after the initial setup you made need to check this out:

Also, if you've changed the passwords on the service accounts, make sure you've updated the IIS app pool as well:
