how to set user account ???

[Guest]

Dear all,

I have develop a client application runing on .NEt 2.0 which is running on a
Windows 2000.
That client application is calling a remote object component hosted in a
Windows service runing under Vista buisness OS.
So far so good.

My Windows service hosting my remote component is running under Network
Servcie account.
Then from my W2K station i am runing my client application as BOB. A call to
my remote component is placed throught tcp chanels. At this time the
connection is rejected becasue BOB is not existing under my VISTA PC (sounds
logic)

So I create a new user account named BOB under Vista PC and make my test
again. At that time BOB is identify and can place a call to remote component
services.

The problem my doing so is that , when I select "Switch user" from my Vista
System, I can see my user BOB from which I use for using my servcie.

My question is :
What is the way to creat BOB in order that it is not appearing in the Switch
User view as it is only used fro this service stuff ??

I have check different option inside Local security settings but nithing
sounds familar to me.

Thnaks for your help

Hi,

under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts\UserList
add dword entry with name your account (BOB) and leave value with 0.

Fast User Switching is not on Win 2K, so disable it on Vista.

Run cmd off of Accessories and enter gpedit.msc

local computer policy
administrative templates
system
logon

Hide entry points for fast user switching
Always use classic logon

I enabled both of them and Fast User Switching is disabled.

If there was a NT Domain controller involved, there would be no Fast User
Switching involved with Vista because it would be disabled, just like on XP
Pro when it's connected to a NT Domain. Win 2K has no Fast User Switching
period to disable.

Simply set the Group Policy to disable Fast User Switching on Vista.

Hi,

Try by local security policy (secpol.msc) on user rights assigment add your
account to Deny log on locally.
