Hi,

I am following the procedures for "How To:Use DPAPI (User Store) from
ASP.NET
with Enterprise Services" from Building Secure ASP NET Applciations pdf
(also at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnnetsec/html/SecNetHT09.asp?frame=true).

After installing the service, I try to start it, but get the error
"Services - Could not start the DPAPI Service server on Local Computer.
Error 5: Access is denied".

My OS is Windows XP Pro. The local account configured to run this service
has "Log on as a batch job" and "Log on locally" user rights as per the
instructions.

If I make the local DPAPI account a member of local administrators, the
service starts correctly.

Can anyone help me trouble shoot this, please?

Thanks
Martin
