admin gives just about the same permissions as running under system.
Can anyone think of any directories that CF would need access to in
order to start those services?

As a test can you try adding the user to the local admin group and then
try starting the service? This will tell us if it is a permissions issue
or if something else is going on.

Well, the problem is, the local Admin group gives the user access to a
bunch of other folders on the server by default and we don't want that.
I tried the command prompt version and the error message I got was "The
service could not be started. The service did not report an error"
Any other ideas?

Hi John,
Is the user you have created part of the local administrator's group? We
suggest they are. Also, if you start the services from the command line
you will see a more descriptive error. You can use:
net start "Cold Fusion Application Server"
net start "ColdFusion Executive"
net start "ColdFusion RDS"

Subject: CF5 Services running as user - Now service won't start
We're trying to lock down some security on our servers by making CF
services run as a specified user instead of System. We did this
successfully on a CFMX server yesterday without any problems, now today,
we're doing it on a CF5 server and having lots of troubles.
I set up the the CF Application Service, CF Executive Service and CF RDS
Service to all run under a local user account. That user account has
full control in the C:\cfusion folder where CF is installed. It also
has full access to the webroot folder on a different drive. For some
reason though, when I stopped and restarted the services, the CF
Executive is the only one that would restart sucessfully. The CF App
Service and the RDS Service give the following error:
Could not start the Cold Fusion Application Service on Local Computer.
The service did not return an error. This could be an internal Windows
error or an internal service error.
If the problem persists, contact your System Administrator.
Did I do something wrong with the permissions? Does CF5 have some other
setup that needs to take place? Any advice or thoughts would be
EXTREMELY helpful.
By the way, the server is Windows 2000 and again, the CF version is 5.
