Re: What is generating the values for this key?

Hi Joe,

Based on my knowledge, this registry key is written by the Windows Service
Installer, which normally calls CreateService win32 API to add the service
configuration information to
HKLM/System/CurrentControlSet/Services/service_name registry. Normally, the
service software vendor writes the Service Installer himself, so I assumes
this registry key is written by the software vendor, not Microsoft.

Anyway, I agree with you that I seldom see any machine running RPC service
as NetworkService account, LocalSystem account is much more privilige than
NetworkService account, so there maybe some access deny issue in RPC
service. I think we still need more information from Michael: what
error/symptom does he get in the application.

Thanks.

Best regards,
Jeffrey Tan
