I posted this to microsoft.public.dotnet.general then I saw posts about
services on this newsgroup. So, sorry for the independent cross-posting.
This might not be the best place to post this, but it looked the best from
what I saw.
I have a .NET service that is installed on an XP SP 2 machine by a user with
admin privileges. The setup asks the user for a domain account to use run
the service as. If the domain account the user provides is not at least a
Power User on the machine, the service will not start. Is this a Windows
policy?
The error I get is "Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or
control request in a timely fashion." It is not that the service times out.
It just doesn't run. Even adding the domain user to the local machine's "Log
on as a service" Users Rights didn't help.
I put some trace statements in the services constructor, and they only get
written to a log file if the domain user is at least in the Power Users
group. So that tells me that the service isn't even being started when the
user is not a PU or Admin.
