A service's threads outgoing security:how to manage?

Hello All!

I am writing a management application, which has to access remote machines
registry via System.Diagnostics.EventLog.CreateEventSource [which is
efficiently a registry access].

For each machine, I connect to, I create a DirectoryEntry and connect to
that machine specifying credentials. That's becauase the running user does
not has the right permissions [working with different domains, no trusts].
The application is written in C# and the action taken is done with threads
from the threadpool.
After I created the "secure channel" with the help of the DirectoryEntry
object , I do the CreateEventSource call, which fails with "General Access
Denied Error".

But this works fine, if the application runs - while testing - as a console
application, but fails, if it runs as a service!!!! It does also not work,
if I run the app temporarely with the Taskscheduler.

Because I cannot specify explicit credentials while access the registry, I
have no idea, what to do now. Access to the remote WMI service is well done
specifying explicit credentials.

I am running Windows Server 2003,en,SP1 and framework 1.1, SP1

Any help would be great!!
Sorry for crossposting;I am not sure, what's the right/best group.

Thanks so far and
best regards,
