LSA functions

Morten

Hi!

Has anyone been able to use LSA functions to grant or remove privileges
to/from users? I'm trying to find a way to programmatically set the "Deny
logon through Terminal Services" privilege for certain users. If someone has
a small example of how to use these functions from C# it would be very
helpful.

Thanks in advance

Here a simple class that should do the job (use at own risk). Note that IMO,
this kind of PInvoke stuff could better be done using MC++ (C++/CLI) or
using System.Management (WMI) and RSOP.
