My COM+ Component will only work when the user that the componponent
is running under is logged on the server. How can I fix this? I have
the component running under a specific user not interactive user.

What is actually failing?

There are some aspects of Windows that only take effect when someone
logs on - an obvious example is the interactive user identity but there
are others. If we knew what was going wrong we might be able to help
work out what the problem is.

If I remember correctly, COM+ does not load the user profile for the account
that the code is running under - probably for reasons of efficiency. So, for
instance, if your code is looking for a User-level environment variable then
it won't see it.

You can load your own user profile but that requires Administrator privilege
(- even if it's your own profile!)

Have you worked out why the code fails if the profile isn't loaded? In other
words, do you know what aspect of the profile it's looking for?

Workaround is to setup a arbitrary service to automatic start and using
the user account the component should run on. Then the user profile is
loaded at boot time and you do not need the user to interactive login.
Best regards,
