To correct this problem:
WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious, system-wide
problems that may require you to reinstall Windows NT to correct them.
Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the use of
Registry Editor can be solved. Use this tool at your own risk.
- Run Registry Editor (REGEDT32.EXE) to change the replicator ObjectName:
- From the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE subtree, go to the following key:
\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Replicator
- Select ObjectName: REG_SZ: LocalSystem or Domain\Account
- From the Edit menu choose String.
- Change ObjectName to LocalSystem or Domain\Account (whichever is
opposite of what it currently is).
- Click OK.
You should now be able to start the Directory Replicator service under the
system account security ID. The service should start without error.
