After running DCPROMO I am experiencing few problems with some services. The account
used to start the services does no longer exists after the DCPROMO procedure has
completed. When I restart the DC I receive the following error (this is just an
example of one of the services) :
Date : 5/26/2004 Source: DCOM
Time : 8:38:08 AM Category : None
Type: Error Event ID : 10000
User : NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService
Description :
Unable to start a DCOM Server: {73E709EA-5D93-4B2E-BBB0-99B7938DA9E4}. The error:
"Access is denied. "
Happened while starting this command:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\wbem\wmiprvse.exe -Embedding
For more information, see Help and Support Center at

Looking at the log on settings for these services I found out that the account used is
NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService. As it is a local account, why the DCPROMO process did not
changed the log on settings to an appropriated account ? A further question is which
user should be used to start the services that were starting using the NT
AUTHORITY\NetworkService user ?
I have already tried the Local System Account with no success.
Thanks,
Elton Pimentel.
