Hi all,

Writing some code that needs to be able to logon as another user to modify some registry keys. I am using the LogonUser() function and it works fine when my code is executed on a WinXP machine, but I also need to support WinNT. When I run the code on WinNT I get an error that I don't have appropriate privileges. I've read some about the SE_TCB_NAME privilege, but how do I get this privilege at runtime? Is there a better way to logon as another user in WinNT?

Thanks

Hi dude,

Can you give me the sourcecode and exe which works in windows XP?

Thanks and Regards,

I don't have the code anymore as I switched to using SSPI to logon as another user.

Check Microsofts site:

Here is a snipet of code I used to get a handle to another users HKCU registry key:

HANDLE hToken = NULL;
LogonUser(tName, tDomain, tPassword, LOGON32_LOGON_INTERACTIVE, LOGON32_PROVIDER_DEFAULT, &hToken);
PROFILEINFO pi = {sizeof pi, PI_NOUI, tName};
LoadUserProfile(hToken, π);
//registry code here

UnloadUserProfile(hToken, pi.hProfile);
CloseHandle(hToken);
hToken = NULL;
