can't undo security template...
I have a windows 2003 server that I applied a locked down security template to. However, now it seems that when an installer is run it won't let it start the service that it creates. It says 'access denied'.
I went into security config. and analysis and put the LOCAL SERVICE and SERVICE accounts in the 'log on as a service' setting, but it still says access denied. Then I tried importing the 'compatws.inf' template and configuring that, but I still get access denied.
It seems like it's still getting those high security settings even though I've imported another template.
How can I apply new templates or at least engage the compatability one so that I can start the service and install the software?

That doesn't answer the question at all. I'm trying to 'undo' a security template, not develop a policy on how they should be deployed.
I'm looking for a way to roll back to the original security configuration and like I said, I already applied the setup security template and that didn't work.

It's always a good idea to be wait to run the SCW until all applications and services that are going to be used on a server are installed and running (like IIS, etc.), so that you aren't going back through the SCW very often.
