"domain" name must be the "computer" name of the remote host, the
credentials (user name and password) specified,must be these of a local user
on the remote computer.
Say you have:
Alice & Bob as computers, and "UserBob" as local account on Bob with
Password "BobsPwd".
When you need to access Bob from Alice, you need to call LogonUser
specifying "Bob" as domain name, "UserBob" as username and "BobsPwd" as
password. The token returned can be used to impersonate "UserBob" when
accessing resources exposed by Bob.

| HI !
| Ohh that sounds good. Yes I do not have any problem, when I try to
| connect from the Windows Explorer. So I tried almost every kind of
| username password variant, that I'm not shure if it works really.
|
| As domain i tried with: IPAddress (of the host which is not in the
| domain), Hostname,
|
| Tried username format like: \\pcname\username, \\ipaddress\username,
| username, pcname\username, ipaddress\username....My user is the
| administrator
|
| But it still don't work. I allways get the error 1326 !
|
| When you say that it should not be a problem, how do I have to
| understand this sentence from the MDSN ? "You cannot use LogonUser to
| log on to a remote computer".
|
| Do you have any hint for me how to solve the my challenge to start and
| stop a service on another pc which is not in my domain ?. Is it
| possible, that the host has a policy or anything like that, what would
| it make impossible to connect over the network ?
|
| Thanks
|
