Publishing WCF Service to hosting provider

Hi,

I have developed a WCF service that I am planning to host with a service
provider. After spending some time uploading the service and fiddling around
with the .svc file and Web.config, I have not managed to get this to work
and I am receiving a 404 page when trying access (i have tried dumping a
..htm file in the directory which I can access)

I have now gone back to basics and created the defaulf WCF project in VS
2008 which executes fine on my local machine (Vista, IIS 7) when pressing
F5, when I upload the project to the service provider (which claims to
support .Net 3.0 and WCF) on a Windows Server 2003 box with IIS6 I still get
this 404 when I address the .svc file.

Am I missing any steps required to publish my service, or do I need to go
through the pain of trying to get support from the hosting provider ?

Any input would be very helpful

Just because you can access it locally, using your develop machine with
debug in VS 2008, does it that it's going to run if someone with a client
application tries to access the service over the LAN or WAN/Internet. You
need to see if the service can be accessed by a client non-locally.

I also suspect that you do need the assistance of the WSP to publish your
WCF application on their server.

It turned out the .svc extension was not mapped to ASP Net, in case someone
have a similar problem

I am writing a service that monitors when a particular app is started. Works, but I need to get the user who is currently logged in, and of course Environment.UserName returns the service logon (NT_AUTHORITY\SYSTEM). I understand that when the service starts, no user may be logged in, but that's ok, as the app I am monitoring can only be run by a logged in user. Do I need to use WMI to get the user context of Explorer.exe or is there a...
