Re: What is generating the values for this key?

That key is the ACL for the service. It determines who can stop/start/pause/continue/modify the service. It not generally manipulated directly as a registry key but via calls to the Service Control Manager.

As for the RPC service, I don't think Windows is supported running that service as Network Service. While you may think it is working it could be causing things to break. You may want to open a real ticket with PSS to get a final ruling on that.

I support an application that has a dependancy on the RPC service. If the RPC service is set to system, my application starts up. If the RPC service is set to NT Authority\Network Service, my apllication fails to initialize.

After investigating, the value for the registry key below directly affects my application ability to start up.
HKLM/System/CurrentControlSet/Services/McAfeeFramework/Security

I spoke with my developer and he did not create this key. He stated it came from Microsoft.

Any idea where this key came from?
