After a long pile of digging through the source, I have discovered that the
COM+ custom actions basically just manipulate members of the ICatalogObject
interface. So, when you specify the Identity attribute, that sets the
Identity property of the Application object in the Applications collection
by calling ICatalogObject::put_Value.
This means that the valid values for Identity are as per the documentation
at
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms686107.aspx#_cos_applications_ide
ntity. I think the restriction on Windows Server 2003 only for using these
other accounts is simply that Windows 2000 didn't support it, although XP
SP2 appears to. The screenshot in my copy of "Transactional COM+", from
Windows 2000, doesn't have the various radio buttons under System Accounts
that XP has.
Richard is right that Local System is far too privileged. You should
consider using Local Service, if you don't need network credentials, or
Network Service (authenticates as the machine account in the domain), if you
do.

Subject: [WiX-users] COM+ Application Setup Identity Problem
Hi,
I'm using WiX and the pca extensions to install a COM+ Application and would
like to set the COM+ Application to run under the 'Local System' identity.
I've tried using the 'Identity' attribute (I assume thats its intention) on
the ComPlusApplication element but can't seem to alter the Identity from the
defaulted value.
I've tried...
Identity=".\LocalSystem"
Identity="{MACHINENAME}\LocalSystem"
Identity="LocalSystem"
Identity="Local System"
The help on the Identity attribute is a little vague.
Cheers
Ashley Smith
