Re: Run Fax Service under a different User Account gives "Win32 Error Code: 1307" error



I've been trying to do that, but I can't seem to get the certificates to 
work properly when installed under the service itself rather than for a user 
running the service.  (I have an open thread on 
microsoft.public.security.crypto right now trying to address this.  However, 
the problem I'm having with that seems to apply to getting the certificates 
to work properly on any service, not just the fax service.)

However, I only want to give the fax service itself access to the encrypted 
files. I wouldn't want to give the "Network Service" account access to the 
encrypted files because then any service running under the Network Service 
account, including services that could get installed later for which I have 
no control, would then have access to the encrypted files.  Also, since I 
can't actually log on to the machine as the Network Service account, I don't 
know of any way to install the certificate for the Network Service user. 
(The only way I can see to do that is to install the certificate for the 
service via the Certificates snap-in for MMC and installing the certificate 
for the service, but that's what doesn't seem to be working.)

Is there any additional logging or debugging I can turn on for the fax 
service to get more information on what the underlying problem is?
