This article was previously published under Q305777



SYMPTOMS
If you set the identity of an application in the Services Control Panel tool, the Component Services snap-in may display a different identity. If you configure a COM+ application to run as an NT service, the identity of that COM+ application can be configured in two different places.



CAUSE
The Component Services snap-in is not notified of identity changes that are made in the Control Panel Services tool. Therefore, the Component Services snap-in does not automatically refresh to display the new configuration settings.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, refresh the COM+ Applications node in the Component Services snap-in.



Steps to Reproduce the Behavior

 * 1) To open the Component Services snap-in, click Start, point to All Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Component Services.
 * 2) Expand the Component Services, the Computer, the My Computer, and the COM+ Applications nodes.
 * 3) Right-click a server-activated application, and then click Properties.
 * 4) In the   Properties dialog box, click the Activation tab, and then click to select the Run Application as NT Service check box.
 * 5) Click the Identity tab. Notice the user identity that is currently configured.
 * 6) Click Apply, and then click OK.
 * 7) To open the Services tool in Control Panel, click Start, point to All Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Services.
 * 8) Double-click the service that you opened in step 3.
 * 9) In the   Properties dialog box, click the Log On tab.
 * 10) Under Log On As, change to a valid user account other than the account that is specified. Click Apply, and then click OK.
 * 11) In the Component Services snap-in, right-click the server-activated application that you selected in step 3, and then click Properties.
 * 12) Click the Identity tab. Notice that the settings on this tab did not change.
