SYMPTOMS
The Identity property page for the COM+ Utilities application in Component Services Explorer incorrectly displays the following message:

The information contained on this page is not available.

In the Explanation frame, the following message is displayed:

The system application identity cannot be changed.

Because COM+ Utilities is a Library application, instead of displaying this message, the Identity property page should be unavailable (grayed out and disabled).



CAUSE
COM+ Utilities is a specific Library application that is installed by the COM+ Setup program.

The IsSystem property, which is a COM+ Applications collection property, is set to True for the COM+ Utilities application. This property means that the particular application is installed by the operating system, rather than created or installed by a user. If you set the IsSystem property to True, the Identity property page displays this message.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.



MORE INFORMATION
The information provided in the Identity property page of COM+ Utilities is incorrect because Library applications run under the client process security token, rather than running under their own user identity.

COM+ Utilities is a Library application, and therefore this page should be disabled as in other Library applications.

This problem does not affect COM+ functionality.
