I'm writing a windows service in VB.Net and set the service process installer's "Account" property set to "User". So when I tried to install the utility using INSTALLUTIL.EXE it is prompting to enter the user id and password. So I wanted to suppress this "Set Service Logon" so added below code to ProjectInstaller.vb and I was able to do what ever I want: [code]

I have a vb6 program that could change my password at local computer.
View 8 RepliesI am currently creating a tool that can manage local user accounts on Windows-PCs. I am using the functions described on
this MSDN page ; and after some struggling, I got most of them to work.
Unluckily, I haven't found a way to set the option "User must change password at next logon" while creating a new user account. I use the
NetUserAdd -Function to create the new user. I set the level to 1 and supply a
USER_INFO_1 -Structure . This structure accepts flags, and the flag UF_PASSWORD_EXPIRED seems to be exactly what I want - but when I set it, the user can log on without changing the password first...
I'm developing on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit using Visual Studio 2010 Express.
Here's my code:
#Region "Constants"
Public Const UF_PASSWORD_EXPIRED As Integer = &H800000
Public Const USER_PRIV_USER As Integer = 1
[Code].....
The original code came from AutoItI just rewrote what was necessary for VB.NET and added the structures and throws. If successful the PID of the process started is returned, else an exception is thrown. No imports needed.

View 5 RepliesI want to change the windows user password in a VB.net Module...
Just change it, how can i do that?
I have already build a application where you type in your username and password and it changes it to the specified password. Now I want to make a "User password remover" application. (It should be the same as "Control PanelUser Accounts and Family SafetyUser
AccountsRemove Your Password").
The program should check:
1) Which User is currently logged on and using the program.
2) Check if the User has a password.
3) If No then Exit the program, else Step 4.
4) If YES then allow the User to type in his current password, press a button and Windows should remove the password.
Is there for my .Net application to detect if a user has logged on? It is a Windows Service, so it will be running before logon.What I want to do is display a "popup" when a user logs on to tell them the status of the application
View 2 RepliesI currently have a windows service that is packaged up as an msi installer. However, during the installation i need the user to input their required filepath (to string) location. The filepath variable currently resides in my component class called MyNewService that is inherited from System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase.
Is there anyway i can allow the user to define the filepath variable during installation?

I have created a windows service that has the Account set to user. Which means that when I install the service I need to pass a user name and password. Is there a way to set these maybe in the ProjectInstaller class maybe in the BeforeInstall event? if so HOW?
View 6 RepliesMy app (which runs ok as a standard user) requires updates to be installed, but I don't want to have to input the administrator username/password each time nor do I want to increase user privileges to administrator.
I have a windows service which handles the downloading of updates etc (running as Local System) but the start command needs to come from the main app (running as a standard user). This is not permitted and I get Access Denied.
I understand why this is happening but is there an alternative way to achieve this? I want to handle program updates as the standard user without using ClickOnce or installing to a non Program Files folder.
I've been developing in .NET (VB, C++, C#) for a number of years, but I am finally creating my first service application (in VB). I need to read/write to a file contained within a user's documents. As a service is not associated with a particular user, would a service have access to a user's documents? ...regardless if that user is signed on or not?
View 2 RepliesRecently while I was playing with VS 2008(VB), I have created an application for folder sync purpose... which is working fine. Then, I have created a windows service that does the same thing and it is also working fine(from application perspective). But, I have been trying to add some additional functionality to that new service. It keeps on running as long as System is ON.
But I would like to change the functionality to... as soon as user logs off Service should STOP, and should START when user logs into that PC. I tried to find some useful info online(related to my task) and all I could come up with was to add OnSessionChange(...) method to the service. But for some reason it is not working out for me(when I've logged off or other system events such as 'system lock').

I need to get the user input for where they want the files that will be produced by my windows service to be stored.
I was thinking that i could do this by reading in the user's input to a variable in the on start event of my service? this variable is then later used in my xml writer.
I have developed a windows services that Log On As "Local System" account with Statup Type "Automatic". I understand that windows services starts before user logins. But I want my service to start when ever user logs in.
View 3 RepliesI developed a windows service project using vb.net and windows service is installed with logon account as admin's user name and password. Target of windows service is to read the pst file path location from windows registry for currently logged user by accessing the following registry key
"HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionWindows Messaging SubsystemProfilesOutlook52a407cf2e436a4d8fe252d1d257465501f6700".
The problem is , windows service can able to read the admin pst file path location if admin is logged in windows. When other user logged in windows, service is not able to read currently logged user's pst file path location from registry because of windows service is configured with admin user name and password. so it always reads admin's pst file location.
I have a Windows Service that needs to start other processes under a user context other than that used by the service. I've seen other posts related to this but have seen no resolutionI've tried many things and have been unsuccessful in starting the process from a Windows Service when a username, password is supplied. orking as it's a requirement of our system to do this and it worked fine until recently and only fails on Vista and Windows 7 (works on XP).
The following code is used to start the process.
Dim P As New Process
P.StartInfo.Domain = Domain

I have to schedule an exe file as windows service.The exe file should be triggered when user connects to the pariticular net work for ex: company network.User can connect/disconnect to the company n/w "n" number of times to the network in a day. so every time when user connects to the network theservice should run the exe file.
View 1 Repliesi have a Windows service that is hosting a WCF service through net.tcp and this is working great. I have also created a WCF service application. I am trying to add the net.tcp service reference to the service application. Then I add it to the GAC that goes ok but if I try to RegAsm the WCF service application to allow it to be called from Server.CreateObject I get the error:
Warning: Type library exporter encountered a type that derives from a
generic class and is not marked as
[ClassInterface(ClassInterfaceType.None)]. Class interfaces cannot be
exposed for such types. Consider marking the type with
[ClassInterface(ClassInterfaceType.None)] and exposing an explicit
interface as the default interface to COM using the
ComDefaultInterface attribute.
It does not work. I have tried to call it through a class library but this does not work either as the end point is not set correctly.
Does anyone know how this can be done? The problem is that when you run the script to add a domain user to the local group as a local user you have no permissions to query the domain. Is there a way to pass a user name and password when doing this? [code]...

View 1 RepliesI have a windows service I created that checks for data to post to an off site webservice over SSL. The service checks every 10 seconds for data to send, if there is data it opens a connection to the remote webservice, and closes the connection after 120 seconds (still checking for data to send during this time). The service works fine if a user is RDP'd into the server, but as soon as no one is logged on and the service attempts to push data, I receive the following error:"The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a send."I have tried running the service as a local service, network service, under my login, and under a service account, but nothing seems to work.

I inserted a bindingsource and then created dataset and tableadapter through it. In my connectionstring, did not select to include sensitive data to it (password)
Now when the application runs, it says Invalid Password and crashes. Off course it is what we expect. Now my question is, I want my application to load password that I have passed in a variable e.g. vrMyPWD as string="abc123" before it loads
Me.TblInvoicesTableAdapter.Fill(Me.DbInvoicesDataSet.tblInvoices)
at from_load. So there is no error and application works normally.

I have developed a web service on my LAN PC, then I hosted that Web Service using IIS and now I can access that web service on that Local PC using http://localhost:<PortNo>/Service.asmx and similarly I can access this service from another PC on my LAN network using http://<ip address>:<PortNo>/Service.asmx, all is well.
Now I am trying to access this web service from a VB.net Program on another PC on my LAN. I added the Service to my VB.net Project using the Add reference in solution Explorer, all is well again. Now the problem is I don't know how to access that service in my code? When I try something like this:
dim myService as new WebCalService
'Webcal is my service running on a network PC.
I get an underline under WebCalService and it says Type Expected? How to use a WebService on a LAN in VB.net??
