Impersonation Not Working On Windows 7?

Feb 25, 2011

I'm using Visual Basic 2008 and I've written a very handy little app that takes care of serveraladmistrative tasks when our company gets a new project. I won't get into all the features but one of the tasks that it performs is setting up a new projectolder structureon our file server with a predefined set of subfolders and it also sets userpermisions on the subfolders.nder Windows XP it worked great and saved me tons of time. It made me giggle everytime I used it in the past becuase it would save me so much time doing these simple but time consuming tasks.

Now my computer is a Windows 7 Pro machine and the only way I can get the exe to run is to right-click the .exe and choose RUNAS administrator. I'm already a domain administrator so why I would need to do this is silly and annoying. In my code I already included a RunAs_Impersonator class so that anyone could use the app which worked great until windows 7.The RunAs_Impersonator class that I use can be found hereI recently needed to make some additions to the program'sbut when I try to debug itwhen it gets to the portion of trying to create the folders on the server,the program breaks and makes claims that I don't have the rights to do so.

Windows Impersonation And MS Access Database?

Sep 15, 2010

I have a VB.Net windows application which needs to modify a MS Access database availabe in server. The login user does not have permission to the folder where the database is available. So I am using windows impersonation with another user's credentials to access to that folder.This works fine and I am able to create a new text file in that folder. But when I try to access the database try to get a dataset from the database, it gives "unspecified error". When I check in the internet some people say that there could be problem with temporary files that OleDB tries to create.

C# - Impersonation In .NET In Windows 7 (Requested Registry Access Is Not Allowed)

Sep 27, 2011

So I am using a user to run the following code that is a member of the "User" group on a Windows 7, x64 machine. I am trying to use impersonation (by logging in as a user that is part of the Administrator group) to allow the current user to read from the registry. For some reason the login happens successfully but even though WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent() is returning the user that is part of the Administrator group I am still getting an error message saying "Requested registry access is not allowed". What am I doing wrong? This is the main code:

Windows Media Player Not Working On Windows XP Using Visual Studio Application?

Aug 8, 2011

I have embedded the WMP control in my Visual Studio 2010 app which works on windows 7 (Framework 4.0), but installing the app on winXP, I get the following error:

System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Interop.WMPLib, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
File name: 'Interop.WMPLib, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'

[code]....

WRN: Assembly binding logging is turned OFF.To enable assembly bind failure logging, set the registry value [HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftFusion!EnableLog] (DWORD) to 1.

Note: There is some performance penalty associated with assembly bind failure logging.To turn this feature off, remove the registry value [HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftFusion!EnableLog].

I guess this is a reference issue, but I have added references to WMP libraries (axinterop.wmplib.dll and interop.wmplib.dll). The WMP works on the XP machine, but not when called from my application.I have searched the web now for 5 days and changed references, and reinstalled the media player on the XP machine, but nothing works.

ASP.NET Impersonation Or Scheduled Task?

May 25, 2012

I have to sync information between a users table in SQL and a user group in active directory. For example, if a user is entered into SQL table A then they need to be entered into group A and if a user is removed from SQL table A, then remove them from group A.The application is written in ASP.NET (VB)

I see two solutions:

1) A scheduled task that runs every night syncing the two (written in VB.NET).

2) Use inpersonation so that Active Directory can be updated by the ASP.NET application. The Web.Config file will have to be encrypted in this solution.

I have read articles online that say it is bad practice to update AD in ASP.NET. This would suggest that option 1 is the better solution. Which is the better solution?

Hide Passwords For Impersonation?

May 26, 2012

The following webpage talks about using impersonation in code (ASP.NET)[url]... I am thinking about creating a class for the code, then the application can call impersonateValidUser and undoimpersonation.

I am concerned about putting usernames and passwords in my code as surely anyone will be able to see them using a tool like ILDASM. What is the best way to hide these passwords?

The article has a section titled: Impersonate the IIS Authenticated Account or User. I thought about creating an impersonated user in the Web.Config, but this would mean that the entire application is run as the inpersonated user. I only want a very small part of the application to run as the impersonated user - when it is necesary to access and update active directory.

.net 2008 Express User Impersonation API?

May 31, 2010

If someone has any knowledge on how the following works, please advise as to why I can sucessfully Load a user token, Set token privileges to load the profile, impersonate the logged on user, create the environment block, obtain the roaming profile path, and load the profile perfectly fine as long as the application calling the functions is running as an admin. The application runs as a service on the local machine. As soon as I try to run the exact same code under the SYSTEM account, LoadUserProfile returns error 5. What must I have to change in order to allow the SYSTEM account on the local machine to perform the same tasks?

VS 2010 : Creating Folders With Alternate Credentials (impersonation)?

Sep 13, 2011

I am developing a small tool to allow our Windows admins to do stuff like create/delete users, mailboxes and other useful stuff.The current version has to be launched with RunAs as it requires domain admin privileges to do a lot of the stuff. Now, to overcome this I'm trying to incorporate a dialog box that prompts for credentials when the application starts and then uses said credentials throughout the application. I have it working for the AD interaction but one of the tasks the tool needs to do is create folders on a remote server and share them.Is there any way to create folders using alternate credentials? Maybe, once I have the credentials, quit the application and re-launch it with the specified credentials?

SendKeys Working On Windows 7 But Not XP Pro?

Sep 10, 2010

I have an application that I want to load using the scheduler in windows. I am also wanting the "enter" key pressed when the app loads. Because you cannot use a batch file I tried using a vb app. It works great on two different windows 7 machines but not at all on the xp machines. The xp machines load the app but don't follow through with the sendkey.

Sidenote - I had to repeat the sendkey function in order to get this to work because I am not sure how to use the sendkeys.sendwait function. I tried and it never worked.

Windows 7 X64 - Working With Jet Databases?

Sep 22, 2010

I am working with Visual Studio 2010 Pro. My OS is Windows 7 x64.I am migrating a VB.NET application that was written for .NET 1.1 / 1.0 in a much earlier version of Visual Studio.The project converted without many issues and works except for on thing. The Jet 4.0 libraries are not available for Windows 7 x64. I understand that they have been replaced with ACE Provider, with actually has an x64 version.

I need to be able to manipulate an MS Access 2003 format database (MDB). I am planning to target .NET framework 2.0 to ensure maximum compatibility with downlevel clients. (I can't install framework 3.5 or 4.0 on these machines). I need to continue supporting MS Access 2003 format on these machines. If I switch to the ACE provider, wouldn't I have to at least install the Microsoft Office 2007 data access components on all of the machines that will run this application? What's the best way for me to target these older machines without having to install any extra software? They already have .NET 2.0 installed and have the JET 4.0 libraries registered.

Windows Application 1 Stopped Working?

I am trying to get an application installed on a friends computer, written in VB 2008 Express. However, he continues to receive the Windows Application 1 stopped working message whenever he launches it.

He states that there are not any error details, and I am in a different state so I cannot even begin to diagnose the situation, so this is all I have to work with. Are there any suggestions where I can even begin to look that would cause this? He is on Win7. which is what I developed the app on. The program is pretty simple, and utlizes sql server r2. Any suggestions on some starting points to check? I have run it on 6 or 7 other computers with no problems.

C# - Code Not Working In Windows Service Project?

I'm currently starting work on my first windows service and I've encountered what I find to be a strange error. For some reason the compiler is telling me that a whole bunch of typical classes (such as Image, Bitmap, Graphics, etc) do not exist. For example, these simple lines of code, which work perfectly in a normal project, return a bunch of errors:

Bitmap b = new Bitmap(destWidth, destHeight); //Error 13 The type or namespace name 'Bitmap' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage((Image)b); //Error 17 The type or namespace name 'Image' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
