Does anyone have any success setting a DCOM server to run as a service
(system account) and configure the service such that it startups
automatically upon system bootup?

The error I've been receiving (from even viewer) is as follows:
"The XXX service failed to start due to the following error:
The service did not respond to the start of control request in a timely
fashion."

Although the service fails to run automatically, I can still manually
start the service afterwards.

I wonder if it's because the DCOM server has dependencies on other
services.  If you have any ideas or suggestions please drop a note and
I'll test it out

Thanks in advance : )

If you have an ATL generated service, you must fix its code dealing
with the SCM. Its calls to SetServiceStatus are buggy. See "Professinal
NT Services" by Kevin Miller for more details and the actual fixes.
