Did you try running the service as a domain user instead?  Win2000 (at 
some SP level) changed the user DB to require a real user request to 
prevent a particular type of worm attack that would get the list of 
users then try to hack them.  It was doing massive brute-force attacks 
at my former company, causing the auto-disable flag to get set every 
night for several days... but I digress... *sigh*.

At any rate, that same symptom has the effect when you are logged in as 
a local user and go to the security dialog looking for domain names, you 
get prompted for domain credentials (any will due).
