Well, local system account is not intended for such applications.
Start your windows service under normal user account.
Beside that one you've found, there are other limitations on local
system account, so generally, create special user account, or use
existing one for services.
I'm not sure I agree with you. I'm building an application which
continuously streams
a windows media stream to a streaming server, without any interaction
with a user.
Also, the process does not have any special requirements, so it sounds
to me
like it's a perfect candidate to run as a service.
Of course, I know that appearently the process does have special
requirements
regarding to encrypting credentials (assuming that that is indeed the
problem),
but it's still strange. I would think I don't need any special
privileges on the machine
running the services, but only on the streaming server I'm connecting
to, which
is what i use the username/password for :-)
Nevertheless, it is a fact that it doesn't work, and indeed I'm now
running the
service under another acccount, but I'm still interested in knowing
how to
do the encryption myself using CryptProtectData().
