Windows security settings are truly bizarre, and the Local System Account is subject to restrictions that don't seem to make any sense. It certainly *can* write some files, otherwise Tomcat wouldn't be able to function at all. BTW, on Vista, you can't seem to change the account the Tomcat service runs under with the GUI tool - it has to be done with the Administrative Tools -> Services snapin; don't know if that's true for Server 2K3. I just tried forcing an OOME dump with Tomcat running under the Local System Account - and it worked. This is under Vista 64, not Server 2K3, and starting with the .zip download. You could always try downloading and installing the .zip version in an alternate location, and install the service under an alternate name just for testing. I don't have access to a Server 2K3 system to play with. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
