thank you for your reply.

yeah, it is a real service (no srvany or such things). this process also has
access to the local environment.
but do not run as local system, due the process must have access to network
shares. so it runs as
a domain user, which is added to the local administrator group. further the
user has configured some policies.

the module which handles the rpc connection is a perl/c native packagae and
no ms technic like COM, DCOM or .NET

if found out that there is one policy missing in windows xp. in windows 2k
there was the possibility to ignore
unsigned files (not drivers), in xp there is only the unsigned driver
policy.

do you know where i can find that?
