Impersonation Windows ID in .Net Cosole applicaion

[bvasanth123]

Hi,
I am developing VB.Net console application. This console application
will be invoke by the scheduler. The id under which this console
application will NOT have access to SQL DB and windows 2000 file share.
I would like to impersonate using proper widnows domain id
programmatically to acces SQL 2000 server and windows 2000 file share.

My dev OS is WINDOWS XP SP2, and Prod OS is WINDOWS 2003.
My console application should be able to impersonate the windows domain
id so that it can access SQL DB (using win authentication) and WINDOWS
2000 file share like \\servername\folder. **I would running console app
in both dev (XP) and prod (Win 2003)**

How can I acheive this imperosnation programmatially?. I heard of
LogonUser and impersonate() methods.
Should I use impersonate() or impersonateLoggedonUser()?. WHat is the
difference between them?..any caveats using each of them
Regards,
Vasanth
