Service writing on Win2003 remotely. Ricardo Vazquez 10-26-2007

Good, I'm glad that it was working. I would not recommend running any
services under the LocalSystem account if that service needs access to a
remote server, which is what you are trying to do. What you should do is
create a DOMAIN user account to run your service under. Let's call the
account RicardoService.



1) From Active Directory Users and Computers
'- ANDROMEDA2003.jusan, create a regular user account named
RicardoService. Since this is a domain account, any computer that is a
member of the domain can use the account. This is one of the major reasons
why you want to use a Windows domain.



2) Give ANDROMEDA2003\RicardoService permission to the Recordings folder via
"Sharing" and "Security."



3) On CORREO, give the account ANDROMEDA2003\RicardoService rights to run as
a service. See
http://help.globalscape.com/help/secureserver3/Log_the_server_on_as_a_service.htm
and
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windows2000serv/reskit/gp/546.mspx?mfr=true



This should now work the same way as it did in the work group.

Great!! Thank you very much, Martin!
I have it working now!
But now I have another similar problem to ask about...

I have to go a step further:
My scenario so far was win2000 and win2003 without domain, in the same
working group; and my service running with the account "Ricardo", created
in both computers with the same name and password.

Now I need my service working in the following scenario:
- win2000 (CORREO) and win2003 (ANDROMEDA) **domain server**, that is: now
we have domain, which is: "ANDROMEDA2003.jusan"
- And I need my service account to be the services default account, that
is: "LocalSystem" (and not "Ricardo").

According to the documentation that I found on the internet, Local System
account appears on the network as DOMAIN\<machine name>$:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/guidance/serversecurity/serviceaccount/sspgch02.mspx#EBH

So I have added CORREO as a computer at:
Active Directory Users and Computers
'- ANDROMEDA2003.jusan
'- Computers

And then I've given full control permission (both in Security and Shared
tabs), folder "Recordings", to CORREO$ (ANDROMEDA2003\CORREO$).

With this, my service running on CORREO should be able to write on
\ANDROMEDA\Recordings... But it isn't! Again: Access denied.

What do you think of this?
Any other hints, or steps to follow...?

Kindest regards, thank you very much once again,

Ricardo.
