Local Service Account Permissions in Registry

[David Hodgson]

Hi,

I have noticed that the "LOCAL SERVICE" account permissions is missing
from the registry on my windows 2003 DC's. I have 2 DC's and both were
inplace upgraded from Windows 2000.

is this a fault caused by the upgrade?

This was only noticed because the "Remote Registry" service wasn't
working correctly (the local service account missing at
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurePipeServer\winreg),
and W3SVC service failed to start as in the registry at
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W3SVC the Local
Service account was missing.
What other errors may have been caused by the upgrade?

thanks
Dave

The article is a little deceptive. At step 7 create a new database.
