1.  The service starts successfully on boot up but the portal page is not available until i log into the computer and start the portal piece.   This also means that I must remain logged into the server for ADSS to work.

2.  We do auditing of password changes and lock outs.  When a user resets their password or unlocks their account, the alert is coming through but is showing that I performed the change (I assume because I started the portal).  I would like to have these come through as a service account for tracking purposes.  If this is possible, what permissions are needed by the service account?

Is there a trick?  I am running Win 2008 64-bit.  This is also the same server that ServiceDesk is running on.
