Windows Service Security Problem

Hello All,
I've run into a bit of an issue and I was hoping that someone here
could help me. I have inherited a Windows Service written in .Net 2.0
(C#) from a previous employee. It build successfully and I am able to
install it on the target machine via installutil but when I attempt to
run it I receive a security error. First I receive the dialog telling
me that the service could not be started "Error 1053: The service
did..." and then "An unhandled exception of type
'System.Securit y.SecurityExcep tion' occurred in System.dll" . I've
tried running the service on my local machine and opening the CLR
debugger and the errors seems to be related to EventLog.WriteE ntry.
I've found the support article
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=918122 and have added the

EventLogPermiss ion eventLogPermiss ion = new
EventLogPermiss ion(EventLogPer missionAccess.A dminister, ".");
eventLogPermiss ion.PermitOnly( ); to no avail.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is there a specific process or permissions that must be granted to get a .NET (framework 1.4) Window Service to run properly on a Windows 2003 Server? I built a Windows Service to start two local programs (Putty and Pageant) located on a Win 2003 Server. The service installs but doesn't start the Putty / Pageant programs properly when using any user ID except my own. Why will it work with my User ID? I install the Windows Service on a Win...

I'm getting Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection errors on a .Net windows service I wrote, when it's running on my application server. It's not a problem with mixed mode security. I'm set for mixed mode and I've been running the service on the app server for over a month with no problem. My database is running on a second server and both are under the same domain. The problem has occurred twice over the last two months.

Suppose you have one domain, filled with a couple of users. What needs to be done now is I need to start a windows application from a webform by pressing a button on the webform (for example). The problem is that the user who "owns" the service is always the ASPNET account. That's not good since you don't see the actual application (because it's owned by ASPNET). I've tried changed the processmodel section in the machine.config file to...

Hi, I just wrote a test Windows Service that creates a text file on startup (please see my code below). The file is never created.

I am having yet another issue with Windows Server 2003. This time, the web service (a file import web service) appears to run except for one odd message: "ActiveX component can't create object". There are no other statements to indicate what object cannot be created. Otherwise, everything on the test Windows Server 2003 works fine—all import data updates correctly. Unfortunately, my normal development environment is not Windows...

Hello, I have a problem with our OnlineBackupService.exe. This is a Windows Service which is built in .Net 1.1 and basically grabs files from the file system and will try to upload them using WebServices. The service is installed by default using LocalSystem account. The exact problem is that sometimes this service is not allowed to resolve the target webservice. This results in the following exception:

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
