CreateProcessWithLogon\AdjustTokenPrivileges on Win2K

[Vincent Finn]

Hi,

I am calling an exe from a webservice
I was using CreateProcessWithLogon() but it doesn't seem to work (MSDN
says it is supported) I get ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED.
It works fine if I am using an XP

Are there permissions that must be set in Win2K to allow this function
to work?

I tried swapping to using LogonUser() and CreateProcessAsUser() but
again they work fine and XP and fail on Win2K
this time the error is ERROR_PRIVILEGE_NOT_HELD

The MSDN says that the user calling LogonUser() needs SE_TCB_NAME
privilege.
I tried setting this and failed (on both OS this time)

The code I am using is in VB.Net below.

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Or is there a way to set this without coding i.e. User settings
somewhere?

this time the error is ERROR_PRIVILEGE_NOT_HELD

I found teh setting for this in the Local Security Settings
and that gets LogonUser() to work but CreateProcessAsUser() gives the
privilege not held error now

I haven't solved it.

I am still trying.
I have tried a variety of things and got nowhere so far.

I'll post a solution if I get one, looks like it'll be a nasty hack of
some sort though

I have solved the problem now and it is messy

I had to write a windows service.
This runs under the system account
I call this using a COM function and it then calls
CreateProcessWithLogon

everything works fine on 2000 and XP with this method.
(I am having trouble with 2003 instead but that may something
completely different)
