All, 
 
If you assign a domain user / local user to a windows service, is it 
 
necessary to modify is ACL (launch / configuration/ access ) to enable 
 
the assigned user to access the DCOM server. 
 
Example: Say we have a network calculator service which instantiates 
 
servers with an identity of  say SOMEUSER who's a member of SOMEGROUP. 
 
Is it necessary to modify the servers DCOM ACL (in dcomcnfg) to include 
 
the same SOMEUSER (as well as the default setting - system etc )to 
 
launch / access or configure? 
 
Or does the DCOM security only kick in when clients have a different 
 
security token from the services (that's what I think) ? 
 
What ever the answer, is there any reference material which situates 
 
this? 
 
Many thanks in advance.
