I posted this to microsoft.publi c.dotnet.genera l then I saw posts about
services on this newsgroup. So, sorry for the independent cross-posting.
This might not be the best place to post this, but it looked the best from
what I saw.
I have a .NET service that is installed on an XP SP 2 machine by a user with
admin privileges. The setup asks the user for a domain account to use run
the service as. If the domain account the user provides is not at least a
Power User on the machine, the service will not start. Is this a Windows
policy?
The error I get is "Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or
control request in a timely fashion." It is not that the service times out.
It just doesn't run. Even adding the domain user to the local machine's "Log
on as a service" Users Rights didn't help.
I put some trace statements in the services constructor, and they only get
written to a log file if the domain user is at least in the Power Users
group. So that tells me that the service isn't even being started when the
user is not a PU or Admin.

Tim,
Well, what does your service do? It's possible that whatever it is, the
user that the service runs under doesn't have rights to do it. This in turn
causes an exception, and your service doesn't start.

Hi Tim,
Welcome to MSDN Newsgroup!
I have the same opinion with Nicholas . If your service requires specific
permission to complete some tasks(for example: access registry, connect to
network and so on),then the service needs to run under the account that has
relevant privilege. So in this scenario, I suggest you confirm what
privileges your service needs.
I hope the above information is useful for you. If you have any questions
or concerns, please feel free to let me know. :)

Thanks Nicholas and Terry for the replies.
My service uses remoting to communicate with another service on another
machine and it accesses files on shares. In its constructor, it creates its
own event log if it doesn't exist and it messes with the registry. Ok, ok.
So I am doing all kinds of admin stuff - I will move that code to the setup
because the setup requires admin privileges.
However, I still don't see why my service's constructor isn't even called
unless its user account is at least a PU. Since I put trace statements as
the first thing in the constructor, I at least expected to see them written
to the log file before any privilege-offending code was executed no matter
what user account I used. I don't think the .NET framework "examines" my
service for possible privilege violations before it even decides to create
it. That's why I am thinking it is a local policy issue.

Are you sure the non PU user has appropriate privileges to write to the log
file (whatever that may be)?
Willy.
That's it! Thanks, Willy! When I logged into the computer as the < PU user,
he couldn't write to folder where I was writing the log file. So, the
combination of the two problems - 1) file permissions and 2) doing admin
calls as a user without admin privileges - made it look like the service was
not starting up at all.
I'll move my admin calls to the setup and write the log to a place where
everyone can write to and that should fix me up.
Thanks a lot guys,
Tim
Hi Tim,
Thanks very much for the update. I am glad to know that the problem is
resolved now.

I going thru the MCSD course and I am creating a Windows Service. The

Hi there,
I tried to install MS SQL Server 2000 on my desktop computer after
uninstalling a version 7 instance. Everything worked fine. Using
Enterprise Manager I can manage databases and the database enginge itself.
My problem is now, that ISQLW.exe, i.e Query Analayzer won't start. The
taskmanager shows a process isqlw.exe but nothing happens. MSSQL Log
files give no hints, neither does the Windows 2000 event log.
