BIND on Windows Vista

[Fabien]

Hello,

I'm facing the same trouble, I think it's related to the UAC feature on 
Vista, but not sure.
I'm running Vista 32 bits.

Actually, I did manage to start BIND only under my personal account
(I had to add myself in the "log on as a service" privilege and change the 
service properties).

If you execute "named -g" in a "run as administrator" CLI, it's OK
If you execute "named -g" under your session, it's OK
If you execute "named -g" under named account (runas), it first crashes, 
then output this :
15-aout-2007 19:53:32.144 starting BIND 9.4.1-P1 -g
15-aout-2007 19:53:32.149 found 2 CPUs, using 2 worker threads
and generates the c0000005 error, but I don't know what named is violating 
(memory access ? thread ? registry ?).

Really curious,
I've tried to tag named.exe to run under administrator rights, no change.
I've tried to add the named account into Administrators group, no change.
I've also added full permissions for named account on the BIND folders, I 
thought named had to write something within, but no change.

any idea why the named account can't manage to start the service ? even with 
some administrative rights ?

Cheers
Fabien
