Now is it a real service? Or is it a DCOM module that is being called from
remote? Anyway first check on what account the thing runs.
(For a DCOM check your component's impersonation properties, in Component
Services. on Properties - Identity)
Then you can find out why the service's user account does not get the
policy=Ignore.
If the account is the local system account, you probably have the domain
policy to ignore digital signing only on users, not on computers. Thus the
system acount won't have it.
Probably why it went right on Win2k because the local security defaults
contained the policy to ignore.
