Local Service, winreg, remote registry

[Guest]

Regarding the problem of having to add Local Service to have read permissions
on
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurePipeServers\winreg

in what specific situations does the problem occur? Is the problem only
caused by upgrades from Win2K to WinXP? Specifically which upgrades will
lead to this problem?

With solutions, are there any Microsoft updates, hotfixes, service packs?
Or must administrators add the permissions manually?

Can Microsoft release a Knowledgebase Article on this issue, listing all the
cases that the problem can occur, and the corresponding solution to each case?

Thank you.

Hi David,

Thank you for the precise reply. I had to examine slipstreaming to fully
understand what's going on. It's a little unfortunate that SP2 does not
automatically fix this issue.

Where can I find the file "winreg.txt " that you referred to?
How can I get the hotfix kb832082 If I did not download and install SP2
(it's too big~)?
