Changed that. After a restart gpedit shows that this rule is in use.

That's correct. The service user was still SYSTEM. When I change it to 
Administrator and restart the service wpkg runs as Administrator. But in the 
event log the error message above still occurs everytime I restart the 
service. If I use another user with admin rights a message appears if this 
user should be allowed to run as a service to which I agreed. But the test 
and the service restart still fails with the same error message.

If I change back to SYSTEM everything works fine again.

Perhaps I should mention I'm using Windows 2000 SP4 without any additional 
patches.

Additionally, I rechecked my XP setup and I found that the wpkg service uses 
the SYSTEM account, too. But I specified a real account with admin 
privileges. But on that maschine the tests do not fail and the error 
described above does not occur.

Any ideas?

Greetings,

Dieter
